Knock, Knock! Poem by Eric Cockrell

knock, knock!
who's there?
bad news again...

unemployment rising,
a new wave of foreclosures.
more killed overseas....

the budget wont balance,
politicians wont agree.
another pipeline to leak oil...

our bill of rights threatened...
terrorism abroad, terrorism at home.
nuclear meltdowns, tornadoes,

and earthquakes...
prejudices and abuse,
people living on the streets.

more children going hungry,
while the rich get richer....
and i think that Jesus

just crawled back up on that cross!
