another tree cut down, <br />another tanker filled with oil. <br />another book gets banned, <br />another protest on American soil. <br /> <br />another politician lies, <br />another banker forecloses. <br />another family on the street, <br />another small business closes. <br /> <br />another mill shut down, <br />another farm goes bank. <br />another river polluted, <br />can you put that in your tank? <br /> <br />another child becomes an addict, <br />another young girl sold like meat. <br />another old man dies.... <br />dancing to the beat.... <br /> <br />why, why, and why? <br />cant you hear your children cry? <br />are we too beat down to try? <br />the eagle spreads its wings... <br />.........and flies!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-why-and-why/
