Eric Cockrell - Steps On The Road!

capitalism...
has ridden the backs
of the working poor,
both here, and
around the world...
till these backs are broken!

now these backs have faces,
and the faces have names.
we can no longer allow
the few to own the many...
the time of economic slavery
is over! it is finished!

dignity, respect,
and equality....
these are the steps
on the road to tomorrow,
a tomorrow based and
founded on freedom!
