Freedom, Stand Back! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Freedom, Stand Back!

Rating: 2.0


freedom and capitalism
are not the same thing....
neither are justice
and capitalism!

you say it's un-American
to protest against Wall Street,
and the money system.

i say it's un-American
for millions to go jobless,
homeless, and hungry....

while you pad your pockets.

you got rich by the
sweat of our brow....
you need to stand back,
and look at the truth....

before it knocks you down!
