i say then the wind, <br />to thee who preach temples and banks. <br />i say the stink of the homeless body, <br />to you who quote perfume. <br />i say the baby being born, <br />to you who shout invasion and conquer. <br />i say silence, <br />to you who preach success. <br />i say equality, <br />to you who strut religion. <br />i say justice, <br />to you who would win. <br />i say suffering, <br />to you who live indulgence. <br />i say family, <br />to thee who carry nations. <br />i say then the wind, <br />to you who doubt in anger. <br />i say dying, <br />to you who would live... <br />i say the moment lived, <br />to you who yearn for eternity. <br />i say compassion, <br />to you who would understand! <br />i say then the wind....<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-say-then-the-wind/
