Pillars Of Truth-3 Poem by Eric Cockrell

it's hard, so damned hard!
go to work everyday (if you're lucky)
and pound your head against the wall...
knowing there's no way in hell
you can make enough to survive!

house gone! car gone! savings gone!
no insurance, not enough food to eat!

husbands leave wives, cant do it anymore!
wives leave husbands, want a better life.
and it only gets worse!

the only thing that we have
that they cant take away
are the people that love us...

why in the hell would we throw that away?
