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

(January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)

and much more to struggle for

and much, much more
to fight for still

MLK

A man first
A peace prophet second
Many times you could see him 
Marching along
Fighting fear from his face by singing or linking of arms

Gandhi’s seed
He learned his lessons well
Rising to the application level
Transcending the cognitive domain
Into divine intellect

An orator
With the gift of God in his voice
Rich...

He walks among us in Atlanta
though he be gone so long
He lives with them at Morehouse
voice echoes like a song

How ’bout Ebenezer 
where his words still ring today
Martin spoke there many times 
urged blacks and whites to pray

Sixteenth street Baptist 
where he mourned those little...

Fifty States United
In an healthy Zone
Everyone is different
But proud to call it home
Children are singing
As they grow
So all the world
Will hear and know
There shall always be
A sequel
For Americans
born equal!...

This Dream To You! Coming true on Inauguration Day..

I could have run,
And tried to hide.

And never fight.
All races on earth, 
Have equal rights.
In Peace and Love, 
"I Have A Dream."
No prejudice,

In 1963, Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. 
What he asked for should not have been a far reach. 
Dr. King was rather unique 
And boy did he like to speak
He spoke on equality and racism
And spread his message through activism
He...
