Teaching nonviolence, peace, and love:-
He was a drum major for human equality;
Sent down to us by the Creator from above:-

The pursuit of erotic
exotic climaxing paradise
is not neurotic
about biological perfection
And almost entirely resilient
and resonant impressions
through sensory neurological connections:
Feeling touch
Smelling taste
Sighting sound
******** directions,
cooperative indiscretions.

She was a prophetess
Dealing with vision, words
Then came political correctness
Some tongues are incarcerated
II
Have you paid (absurd)
For your every word
Some want you "wrong"
Others say, "Go along"
III
Dr. King used diction
Minus hate, violent action
So did Diedrich Bonhoeffer
What would you offer?

We expect to find
and ecologically pursue
performing possessive behaviors,
speaking with LeftBrain dominant purpose
in our individualized ego lives.
We invite,
theologically hope for,
and faithfully search out
and in to fulfill,
nonviolently provide
peaceful purpose
to protect interdependent
intersectional
meaningful relationships
in Earth's web
of sacred compassion.

Hindus fighting Muslims, and brother slaying brother,
made peace to save his life, loved more than any other.
Dear Bapu, your greatest weapons, thereof ...
the power, nonviolence, the strength ... LOVE.

Who would become so fundamentally foolish
to separate a strong dancer
from her flowing dance?
The secular singer
from his sacred song?
Mountainous storytellers
from our rivered story?
Felt humane communion
from our most nakedly divine communications?
Spirited habits
dispirited from Earth's natural habitats?
Evangelical legends
from love's integrity,
passion's timeless curiosity?

Where all humane souls repent
of contempt
for our EgoSelf
against our EcoOthers
And celebrate,
or at least commend,
express gratitude for,
our inner enlightened
and empowered
co-passionate communication,
dialogue,
discernment
Bilaterally
and multiculturally informed
by
of
and for
global climate health
and polycultural wealth
of resolving thought
resonant wellness-felt
restoring bipartisan prosperous peace.

Dreams become nightmares
When one sleeps through life
To be awake is to be aware
Nonviolence is a tougher fight
The brain is a filter
And the heart is a storehouse
Stealing and Stinginess
Will lead to the poorhouse
Never abandon belief
It's stamina for your actions
The right combination of love and hate
Is equivalent to compassion
Diligence trumps intelligence
So never be too proud
Let the work itself be the gift
And bonuses are sure to come around

Love will never prevail.
Love will never lose.
For Love is not over,
not under.
Love is between, amongst.
Tendrilous, between
Hearts.
We that Love may fail.
We that Love may prevail.
But in our winless,
in our success,
we will know Love.
And this is no final victory,
it is a uniting of the you, the me.
Not in contest but in the heart
of our very breast.
Love cannot prevail.
Love cannot fail.
Let us not fail Love
by asking her to fight.

Morehouse grad who reached the heights.
Activist for civil rights.
Rhetor, rebel, reverend.
Toiled to segregation end.
In nonviolence believed.
Nobel Prize for Peace received.
Lincoln's words inspired his theme
Uttered in "I have a dream."
Thousands march to Selma led.
Husband who Coretta wed.
Evils tried to remedy.
Rests with brothers Kennedy.
Killed by bigotry and hate.
Inner spirit celebrate.
Name today immortalized.
Greatness that too early died.

Loincloth was his dress;
Truth was his address.
Nonviolence was his armor;
A warrior and a perfect charmer.
A man of progress,
And an epitome of success.
He is the ‘Father of our Nation’;
He is our Mahatma!
