Anger (Lightning Haiku) Poem by Eric Cockrell

Anger (Lightning Haiku)

Rating: 1.3


i'm different - so!
my hair, my eyes, my color...
my heart same as yours!

i work long and hard.
give you more than i should.
but i'm not your slave!

Jesus was not white!
never killed to convert the heathen.
never sold the truth!

there are no chosen
people, no special people,
just human people!

i cannot judge you.
i can barely judge myself.
compassion, i pray.

dont dare tax the rich!
take it from the old, the poor...
they just dont matter!

Koch brothers, devils!
wrapped in layers of money,
the cancers of greed!

not Republican,
Tea Party, or Ku Klux Klan...
God's not a hater!

so we killed bin Laden,
and Crazy Horse killed Custer...
not much difference!

deport the migrants.
let the fruit rot in the fields!
get what you deserve!
