i am, become... <br />in closing... <br />what i wanted to do <br />with this series was <br />to expose the heart of <br />the real America, <br />to lay it bare, <br />with all its faults <br />and weaknesses... <br />in all its beauty and <br />simple goodness... <br />to find a way to unlock <br />the faith and integrity <br />of the common.. <br />and call us back to ourselves... <br /> <br />i think i've failed, <br />but i am human, just like you... <br />and i want more than anything <br />to try, to believe, and to change... <br />walk with me, side by side, <br />let us find tomorrow! <br /> <br />i am, i am, <br />America unfolding, dying, <br />and blooming anew... <br />i am, become!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-final-chapter/
