Mr Marcher- Martin L King
And now we walk together while holding each other's hands.
Back then, our unity remained undiscovered.
Although you had other plans,
that you pushed through while you suffered.
You marched ahead for rights that were left behind.
Making sure the next generations wouldn't have to
It earned you a Nobel Peace Prize, one of your greatest finds.
And lead you to realise, that your community grew.
You made a difference like none before.
You were considered 'great'.
Until your head hit the floor,
in 1968.
