Martin

In a nation of happy faces, Your children of rainbowed skin Hold hands, as kin, Now ignorant of races... Just as you hoped... Building walls of love Brothers and sisters come along Singing a never ending song That you and I are apart of... Just as I wished... Voices melting, together singing Form a circle with hands linked Alas, just after I had blinked, I see their wall is rising... Just as we dreamed. [For Martin Luther King, Jr.]
