Racial Preferential Treatment

God laughs when fools behave like racists
All persecuted individuals are His children
God laughs when a few are obviously chosen
And receive preferential treatment under the basis
That the lighter complexion is superior and better.

God created one race. The same blood flows like a river
In all God’s children veins. This blood is red, not amber
God laughs when a

He came bearing a dream for humanity;
Teaching nonviolence, peace, and love:-
He was a drum major for human equality;

Mlk Day

Part of the speech of Martin Luther King
Bless Him for seeking God and better life
Song by Blind Boys of Alabama 

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little

Dreaming

Dreaming
By: Ricky Jones

Dreaming is something everyone do,
Develop a positive feeling inside and you will too.
Having a dream doesn’t make it come true, 
But making a sacrifice and doing what you must do,
These are some of the things that make your dream come true.

Dreaming will fill your heart with inspiration 
And fill your mind full of

The Dream

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 was one of the most prominent activists during the Civil

Rev Mlk Resync

"power without love is
reckless
and abusive,
and love without power is
sentimental
and anemic.
Power at its best is
love implementing the demands
of justice,
and justice at its best is
power
correcting everything that stands
against love."

Win/Lose power
without win/win love is
lose/lose reckless
and abusive,

And win/win love 
without win/win power is
sentimental
and anemic.

Power
at our best is
love cooperatively implementing
win/win healing justice,

And EarthJustice
at our healthiest
and best is 
power
win/win correcting everything

Keola-Quatrain-Mlk Jr

Keola-Sonnet-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Imagine perched above, you ride THE lofty throne
Peering through pellucid skies to seek our MORAL truth
You yearn to spread what people need; empathy ingrown
To stare into transmutative hearts, from elderly to youth…

Suddenly, your throne volplanes into a graceful ARC
Your view, now curved, a myriad OF sights
THE UNIVERSE so grand, folks pale to

Mlk Way Today

As we look back on the path blazed by Jr MLK. 
Seeing the progress wondering what he’d say. 
The work has begun and the game changed. 
But there’s lots more minds to be rearranged. 

People wear blinders, seeing black and white. 
Naïve to all the many shades in our plain sight. 
Fifty shades of grey

A Poetic Litany of Poems Celebrating Mlk Day

The Man…The Spirit

His name was Dr. Martin Luther King;
He was a peace-loving human being.

Preaching peace and love–
A mountain top of a man:- 
Martin Luther King.


THE HUMAN DOVE

Teaching nonviolence, peace, and love

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

New Mlk Day Resolutions

I have heard almost nothing about New Year Resolutions
this pandemic year;

Although personal sound waves are filled
replete with incomplete invitations
to take better health care
of personal
and social
and economic
and democratic
and public
and green climate nonviolent communication
wealth optimization

As we move post-millennially
and relentlessly,
perhaps as inevitably
as any self-fulfilling NewYear resolute expectation,
standing win/win apart
from ambiguous anticipation thoughts
with anxious feelings,
foreboding fore-tidings,
Right/Left
affective/cognitive dissonance;
fading resonance.

Mlk Remembrance

leader of social justice

strived for freedom and compassion for all

remembered by his famous speech  
a life and true potential shortened  
about hope for a world 
we might live in one day

A Dream Imagined By Mlk

I hail here from the church with the flags -
Representation of a multicultural congregation,
                A piece of heaven, heartbeat
                     

A Climate of Integration

Societies,
religious and secular,
nation-states,
corporations,
extended families,
tribes,
colonies,
property owners,
owned properties
are caught in,
invested in,
an inescapable network
of climate mutuality,
cooperativity,
multicultural communion,
tie-dyed,
camouflaged in a single Earth habitat
of green-blue spectral destiny
rhapsody
rapture.

Climate injustice anywhere
is a threat to health
and justice
and peace
everywhere.

There are some climates
in our social
political
economic racist system
to which all EarthDwellers
ought to be maladjusted
divested
struggling to breathe free,
to dream expansively
inclusively
theo- and ego- and eco-logically.
