Our Own Greatest Enemy Poem by Eric Cockrell
Our Own Greatest Enemy
We, who pray for peace,
While arming ourselves for war.
Who profess equality,
While building walls.
Who speak of freedom,
But only in hushed tones.
Who fight over religion,
And judge by skin color.
Who bury our heads,
Turn and walk away.
Who drink our children's blood,
And borrow against their dreams.
Who stand for justice,
But only for the few.
Who rewrite our past,
And whitewash our sins.
Who steal from the poor,
And call it fair profit.
Who hate most of all,
The image in the mirror.
We...
Our own greatest enemy!
