Revolution Now Poem by Eric Cockrell

they're calling for revolution!
things must change!
the only sword we carry is truth...
as we march with justice
and equality...

what's past is past!
we cannot change
what's already been done.
the only way to heal the wounds
of the past is to create a future...
a future that begins with today!

no longer divided by color or creed,
we march hand to heart as one.
knowing that no man is free
until every man is free!
(and woman, and child...)

no longer owned by the things
we possess, and owning no man.
no longer bound by self-oriented
idealologies... the barrier between us
is no more...

today is the day,
now is the moment....
history waits for no one!
