Donald Trump says that the Ku Klux Klan
Manifestly love every man

and willing to light
a cross under those with a tan)!

Mlk Elementary Anthem

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!

Mlk Remembrance

leader of social justice 
change society   
gift for rhetoric and oratory
strived for freedom and compassion for all
a name displayed on buildings nationwide
remembered by his famous speech  
a life and true potential shortened  
about hope for a world 
we might live in one day


Mlk

Four walls and iron,
Bars can't stop my mind and thoughts;
Freedom and money



~~~Who took this picture??
How long did he stay?
Why was he arrested?
Thoughts to ponder.
For Abe Lopez's contest on a photo of MLK Jr. sitting in a Birmingham, Al. Jail like the 
thinker, where he wrote several papers on various subjects.

If Mlk

If MLK

Must have to admit
Write more poems want me to quit
So thought I should split.

With your endeavor
What I write never is clever
Read poems won't ever.

Timbers did shiver
When good poem did deliver
On vine won't wither.

Have great attitude
Readers don't become unglued
With my poems multitude.

So you soon shall see
If MLK had been me
At last will be free.

This Dream To You! Mlk Honored

I could have run and tried to hide.
When God said, "Go against the tide."

"Preach unity and never fight.
All races on earth have equal rights."

In peace and love " I Have A Dream."
No prejudice, or hatred, life serene!

I could have tried to run and hide.
But either way I would have died.

So I chose to carry on.
To show in peace we can be strong.

"I Have A Dream."  It must come true.
And now God gives  THIS DREAM TO YOU.

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
To see what is at stake – 
The future of the USA – 
I think his heart would break.
