We Cannot Live With The Alternative

Upon receiving his
Presidential Nomination
Eric Cockrell replied

"they'd have me shot
the first week...

i have too little tolerance for bullshit,
and am too hard headed
to keep my mouth shut! "

Terence Craddock replied
"I would be shot
before I could
be sworn into office

but I have been
to the mountain top;

too many are prepared to die for wars
of injustice and greed,
too few are prepared to pay the ultimate

price for peace, but
we cannot live with the alternative;
thereby our choices are made."
