Will having a dream
As did Martin Luther King
Bring YOU notoriety
Probably it won't
But Dreams are good for the soul
I wish all could have such DREAMS

Reading My Catechism
Reading My Catechism

Remember reading my catacism,
And problems regarding rascism;
Am  apprehensive,
And also sensative;
Definately is causing cynacism.

God bless Martin Luther King.
Was his name originally Michael?...

Martin Luther King Jnr – a Tribute
Every man goes to bed. 
Every man sleeps.
Men dream dreams.

We keep dreaming.
Praying not to stop the Lutheran dream.

‘ I have a dream’,
‘ I have a dream’,
that one day…

on and on and on,
the dream continues.
What have you dreamt so far?...

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When innocent dies,
Whole universe cries,
Even of dear earth,
We can hear, outcries,
But selfish human being,
Never even sighs.
