To Change... Poem by Eric Cockrell
To Change...
i've had half a dozen
or more sets of people
come in today talking
about going back to a
more self-sufficient
lifestyle...
people paying off their
accounts, not making purchases.
people buying pigs, chickens,
goats... going to plant
big gardens.
this has been going on for
the last month ot two.
people watching the gas situation,
the rise of food prices.. sky
high electric bills...
young people moving back in
with their families... old
people going back to old ways.
we are not as blind as our
government would like to believe.
lies and illusions wont cut
it anymore.
too much debt, too much corruption,
too much greed... and they try
to silence anyone who raises a
voice in opposition.
things have to change. it cannot
go on the way it is. the only
hope we have is to become less
dependent on government, on the
choices of the elite, on society...
let our dependence be in our families,
in ourselves, and in each other.
forget about wants, and meet needs.
to change...
I agree. The days of a job for life and son following father in a trade, a vocation, have long passed apart from the odd island of sense and sensibility where a small family business is maintained against the flow. The flow to mechanisation and scaling up at the expense of humanity. I'd better stop now! Good write, Eric.
A fantastic poem, if everyone stopped needing money what would happen to the powers that be. I would love to see. A great write.

The simple life! ! There are a lot of people around the world that are aware there is something changing. Many are stocking food ect. now. Even the underground bases (check D.U.M.B. on youtube) are stocking long life food underground...and the computor 'implant' seeping its ugly head..already in animal and in soldiers (involuntary) . What you have written is right..less dependance on the Government as, when the chips come in, they will have control over all you do! ! REV.. 'Can't buy or sell without it...' Thankyou Eric. Regards...Sharon.
