Mercy # 3 Poem by Eric Cockrell

houses burning, stolen earnings, lifetimes sold to greed. take their food, take their dreams, just how much do you need? The housing crisis in America and the government bail out of banker Wall Street related causes of the crisis, have proven once again that the mega rich have an insatiable desire to take and take everything. Such greed wallows in wealth and apparently cannot be satisfied with mere stolen billions. Equal rights means a new American dream, looking after the needs of the majority, not the 1% mega rich minority, who cannot spend their wealth in a thousand lifetimes, but feasts on buying up cheap, at exploitation prices, the material dreams and sweat of working class lives.
