your beautiful dream
of equality and hope
we are still dreaming
yes, he had a dream....
we wanted it to be ours
think it will happen?
brothers and sisters
each facing adversity
the dream yet to be
he gave us his life
his dream and inspiration
WE can make it real!
- 2017 -
89 % of wealth
to top 1 %
those at the bottom
50 % of total
saw no improvement
he was born Michael
later changed name to Martin
most are unaware
Baptist minister
a civil rights activist
legacy continues
saints walk among us
not bloodless perfect humans
everyday heroes
men and women who
lay down their lives for something
larger than themselves
MLK was one
flawed fallible and fearful
he knew and walked on
