Martin Luther King Jr

They looked for an equalizer for so long Their freedoms were caged They were treated as less human Their abilities suppressed Then, on January 15, 1929, a man was sent He boarded the flight for freedom He passed thru the sky of racism Saw the gathering of thick clouds Knew the thunder would blast someday Yet he walked thru the storms to free his people He appreciated God for his creation— For diversity and various colors of creation He prepared the ladder of equality And placed it on Freedom Avenue He knew racism held the gun To fulfill the dream of equal rights and justice For all peoples was his so focus He saw it clearly in the Scripture All men were made from one source— Brought into being free and equal He sacrificed his life for the truth to prevail His speeches out weighted racism all over America The fruit of his labor—reality of his historic dream Is the 44th president of America toady!
