Poems by Eric Cockrell : 6 / 2802
9/11, And The Days After
how many died that day
at the World Trade Center?
how many died
in the field?
and how many have died...
how many young boys
sent off to war?
how many citizens of Iraq?
Afghanistan?
how many women and children?
how many deaths
does it take for
us to finally understand?
killing is wrong!
one death does not
justify another!
murder does not
heal wounds...
or bring back
loved ones.....
one decade later....
and we still dont understand
the value of life...
and therein lies
the cause for mourning,
and the sadness!

We should stop wars...
A clear massage from every poet...
From every site...

A Honest Human...

We should stop wars in every terrain
Sound of wars are never... fun...!
