i'm going to quit writing poetry, <br />and start taking pictures... <br />pictures of the homeless, <br />the jobless, the hungry, <br />the war victims, drug victims, <br />crime victims, victims of oppressive <br />regimes, beaten, imprisoned, threatened... <br />starting right here! <br /> <br />the elderly left to die in want, <br />those left to live on the street, <br />families sleeping in cars, <br />parents burying their children... <br />smoke stacks smoking, <br />nuclear disasters, oil spills, <br />mountains being mined, <br />timber being cut... <br /> <br />lonely people walking alone! <br />small children crying... <br />lovers left in the cold... <br />empty churches full of people. <br /> <br />i'm going to post these pictures in color <br />for all the world to see, <br />post them in dead silence... <br />maybe then someone will hear, <br />hear, and offer a hand!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/posting-pictures/
