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
