Liar! Poem by Eric Cockrell

Liar!

Rating: ★5.0


you would spread peace
by the use of your guns,
end poverty with slavery,
execute justice with your prisons,
end prejudice by not looking...
protect freedom of speech with oppression,
teach the truth with closed minds,
and fill the plates of the hungry
with nuclear threats...

i say,
'Liar! '
