Poem
YOU ARE THE ONE Be the best you, you can be...even if you have stereotypical strikes against you. Use the back door, dressed in khaki not Gucci, armed with knowledge and the courage to know that you be the best, at whatever you do. And let it be proved, no one can perfect on being you. Make sure whatever you do, you do so well that once you are gone. you'll still be remembered; Remembered for the improvements, and not destruction. King wanted not to be martyred, as he wanted to prove: As I have done you can also do: There’s no difference between you and I; So, do as I have done and even more he would say, prepare yourself with education and the knowledge thereof. . Stand on passion and be guided by LOVE. Passion and self-determination is the lamp at our feet. Even if you cannot afford a college degree, grab a book from the library and read, be you self-taught or guided by ancestor’s voices. It’s all in a book, the ancestors still care. The way has been paved and the motivation is there. Some made it through on wisdom and prayer. He did not die for us to praise him, he wanted to be an example and his example was ample; To show that just an ordinary man...could leave a legacy and a dream. That all men are created equal ... So, do even more than I have done he would say Because he has already opened doors and paved the way... Let us not run backwards, forward we tread. His dream is alive and his memory not dead. Stop looking for A leader and become one instead, by his courageous spirit, let us each be led...Billions are looking around for a King, put on your gloves and get in the ring. You are chosen by the mighty.... Yes, you are the one...each of you have a Job to do. Be the best you, you can be. And let’s get this done.! YOU ARE THE ONE!
