I Am His Dream Fulfilled

Martin Luther King Once Said I Have A Dream That was on August 28TH, 1963 BUT little did he know that when he spoke those four worlds He would be changing the world's history. In the 50S and 60S, the world started to change Things were moving at a much faster pace New pressures were put on peoples all over the world Especially The African American race. Blacks were spat on, beaten, and hanged back then They did not have the same privileges as whites They were treated like animals instead of women and men And had almost no constitutional rights. However God up high heard their terrible cry And chose to put an end to their suffering HE sent some soldiers to stand up for His people One of these was DR Martin Luther King. He was a powerful man but he preached nonviolence You can't stop hatred with hatred, he would say We as a people will get to the Promised Land But we can only get there by doing it God's way. He stood fearlessly before his oppressors He had a powerful yet intellectual voice He didn't arm himself nor hide for protection Because his Faith was his weapon of choice. His enemies and oppressors did fear him They couldn't wait to see him dead and gone Thus he fell like so many soldiers before him But not before his seed had been sown. His words reached the darkest parts of this country And had white America seeing in a brand new way He said let freedom ring all over this world And that freedom is still ringing today. We still have a long way to go brothers and sisters Before we've reached total human equality But I thank God Almighty for DR Martin Luther King And that we're not where we used to be. Today there are more soldiers fighting for us Shinning light on those oppressors who hide And regardless of what our status in this world may be We are each and everyone filled with pride. I often think back on the words of DR King They murdered the man, but his dream was not killed Because of this I've learned to take nothing for granted For I know that I am his dream fulfilled.
