I Dont Believe You! Poem by Eric Cockrell

you can tell me
these chains are wings...
but i dont believe you.

that right and wrong
are black and white...
i dont believe you.

that God chooses
between one person
and another...
i dont believe you.

that killing is justified,
that poverty is earned,
that you are better,
or worth more than me..
i just dont believe you.

you can tell me
that there's more
than the hand in mine...
baby, i dont believe you!
