Bryn Strudwick Poet Haibun

Still Waiting

STILL WAITING

Until his assassination in 1968, Martin Luther King campaigned tirelessly for equality and human rights for African Americans. Fifty-seven years on from his historic “I have a dream” speech, for many the lessons still have to be learned.

This man of vision
Dreamed the impossible dream.
Still far, far to go
