Eric Cockrell Poems

Mommy!
why are you so angry?
you didnt want me.
you didnt love me.
...

i heard you crying...
i dont know your name;
but i can feel your hunger,
your pain, can smell
...

you got up early,
ate breakfast, showered,
put on your best clothes,
picked up your Bible,
...

letting go...
of the woman
i have loved...
of the woman
...

i dont need
anyone else
to be happy....
i need to make peace
...

you can only feed the people
lies for so long!
it only irritates our hunger,
and inevitably leads
...

men without work
are dangerous.
men without hope,
even more so.
...

what would make you think
that you can legislate morality
when you, by your very actions,
are immoral?
...

A group of children
In a kindergarten class
Would probably do
A better job of
...

teachers, unite
farmers, unite
carpenters, unite
factory workers, unite
...
