Gospel Poem by Eric Cockrell

you flash a picture
of a brown skinned
big eyed orpaned child,
hungry, and homeless
on the screen...

and want me to make
a donation so you can
send them your gospel...

when the gospel that they
really need is for us
to acknowledge
that we're human...

change our way of living,
consuming, and taking...
so that all people
have the chance...

and their needs met!

send food, and medicine...
yes!
send the message that
we're family....

hell yes!
