Dr Martin Luther King

Dreams do not die with the dreamer
Resisting nonviolently is a powerful weapon

Mission minded people must stay focused
Armies make wars, but people like King make peace
Regressing grievances is very constitutional
Teach the children true American history
Instill in our youth dignity and self respect
Never give up on people nor on their dreams

Love is the key to demolishing bigotry and hate
Untangle yourselves from the bondage of ignorance
Touch others and feel the pulse beat of their pain
Heaven opens to those knocking with hands of love
Evil is never a match against the good and the Godly
Revolutions of good are born out of intolerance for evil

Kingdoms of nightmares fade when the people dream
Independence of nations strive when its people are United
Names like Adolf go unclaimed, but the name Martin remains
God blesses the nation whose God is The Lord. 91719PoSoup
