Without Martin Luther King
Where would we be without
Martin Luther King?
We would be living
in the biggest lie created by society.
A country with a lower cast
of people that are not
"We the people"
We would not be "United States"
And this would not be a "Perfect Union"
Words only cannot "Establish Justice"
And we would not have had
uninsured "Tranquility"
Martin Luther King "Provided
for the Common Defence"
"Promoted the General Wellfare"
and "Secured the Blessings of
Liberty"
"For ourselves and our Posterity"
and this established a "Constitution"
a claim justified by a group of facts
proving that our original intent
was more than a promise
It was also a prophecy
And these "United States of America"
would lead the world
in the direction of liberty
with justice for all
