Eric Cockrell Poems

for every tree you cut down,
a child is dying.
for every barrel of oil that
you drill and spill,
...

they want to
ban books, ban abortions
ban gay marriages
ban free thinking
...

how many died that day
at the World Trade Center?
how many died
in the field?
...

he wears her like
the badge of honorable
abuse....
...

from a tiny acorn,
the oak tree grows.
what a man cant find,
a child will know.
...

it took ashes...
for me to draw
a picture of your living
in black and white...
...

one lone rose
opened by the sun,
the faint memory of rain,
and the dark damp earth.
...

i quit trying to save the world...
and just offered my hand,
and walked beside it.
i quit trying to find the truth,
...

1900 poems...
love letters written
in flesh,
with all the scars
...

a beer and a shot....
two old men sitting
on the stoop. talking...
...
