Mlk Day
On MLK Day, let’s reflect
On protests made in peace,
For choosing who we would elect
Should not require police.
Remember marching through the streets?
Our weapons were our chants.
We had no Facebook, had no tweets
And yet we took a stance.
When Martin Luther King was here,
We listened as a crowd
Within a civil atmosphere;
No violence allowed.
If King were somehow back today
To see what is at stake –
The future of the USA –
I think his heart would break.
