Poem for MLK

Born to reject oppressive laws failing the human plight

A visionary leader preaching fearlessly Gods might

You walked the walk opposed by fear for all of us to see

You showed us how we all should walk in love and harmony

Taken so soon from mankind’s hands by ignorance and hate

Much more work there is left to do, no it is not too late

Because of you we have a path worn well for all to follow

Lifting all humans up to God let not his words ring hollow
