The We In I, The I In We! Poem by Eric Cockrell

thermal meltdown, final countdown,
democracy defines itself!
our own soldiers, we grow bolder,
chased by the ghosts of hell!

1st amendment,6th commandment,
freedom exacts a price.
national boundaries, personal boundaries,
mice become men, men become mice! .....

all men equal, all men free..
all men want their dignity.
freedom of choice, freedom to be....
the we in i, the i in we!

faceless jobless, hopeless homeless,
living hard on the streets.
selling pills, shotgun thrills,
gotta be quick on your feet.

hospitals turn away, old men dont pray,
got nothing left to lose.
gunshots, speed off, tag number, all's lost,
somebody pays the dues....

all men equal, all men free....
all men want their dignity.
freedom of choice, freedom to be...
the we in i, the i in we!
