A Great Man's Dream

Open your mind, as I rekindle an old fire, of a great man's dream, a great man's desire Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream he said, in an era, in which many people he had led He envisioned a new world in his minds eye, dying for that vision, yet his dream didn't die Dreams of a new world where kindness is not new Where loving thy neighbor was, the thing to do Every culture, and color could live as one No wars to fight, because all have been won Different is normal, no longer being bad None fear the unknown, the knowledge is had No one is perfect, and none feels hate Each of us are in control, of our very own fate With all men being equal, with no more unjust Transforming, all mankinds hatred into trust A great man dreamed, dying showing us how Only we can achieve his dream for him now An older poem posted now for M.L.K. JR's birthday
