Random Freedom Thoughts Poem by Eric Cockrell

a man is no more
than the smallest act
of giving he leaves behind.

a true patriot
embodies the ideal
of freedom and equality.

we live all of our lives
searching for what we knew
when we were born.

our concepts of God,
like a microwave dinner,
the real thing much better...

and totally different!
religion the drug
that keeps us from expressing,

the veil with which
we cover the truth...
and racial prejudice,

the saddest form of ignorance...
like loving your right hand,
and hating your left.

that which we own,
we are most often owned by.
that which really matters,

cannot be owned!
