A Brother's Dream

Oh,
to hear  a brothers’ voice
those shouts out loud-
they sang...a tantalizing choice.

I believe “let freedom ring!”
Also, reverberating in still time.
A brother of simplicity
Yet, no kinship of mine. 

In a declaration, he braved,
soulfully as he sways...
his dream, of no election,
a thought, to which he slaves.

Share in the legacy
Left vulnerable by a rifles blare…
Brothers of sort have died excessively,
He didn’t say “freedom ring, despair”.

So for, Sir Dr. Martin Luther,
A King by his own right…
Embellish this one day set aside,
But know “his dream” was meant for life.

Thank GOD for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
