Dr. King Explained.
Dr. King Explained
Love one another
Our Father, to mankind said.
We are all brothers.
Primates hesitate.
They tap into hatred’s fate.
Hanging and beating.
Falsely imprisoned.
King taught love with God’s insight.
Haters fought his cause.
Jailed, like Christ for Truth
Man’s evil retributions.
Reaping hate’s havoc.
Murdered for teaching.
All are equal in God’s eyes.
Sacrificial man.
We’ve come a long way.
Maybe, now, we understand.
Truths King once had said.
Love one another.
At last, many understand
We are all brothers.
