Karin Edwards Poet Epic

Let Freedom Ring

(In memory of the late Dr. Martin Luther King)

In the back of his mind,
did he hear it, ring
About teaching the world
like COKE, a song to sing
How he preserved for the
cause not the bling
So We to SEGREGATION,
would No longer cling
For he would make Universal,
this black and white thing
Looking for it to be a commit-
ment, instead of a fling
Realizing Our going down grim
road's path, would Only sting
Which is why, the idea of Integra-
tion, he came to bring
As if, Having Our Best Interests, was
tied around his finger like a string
Let's hear it, three cheers for the Rev.
Dr. Martin Luther King
