Words would fail me if I might assay

Tall standing received earth’s esteems,
Accepting God’s charge wherefore he...

I didn't really understand at the time
I just knew a man was dead

But with the years that followed
I came to learn how much he meant
To this world in its great need
And how well that time...

Are we now racist, because of white privilege and black lives matter?
This is our new wall, racism is still dividing,
these two profound statements are creating bitter chatter.

Dr. King lost his life because of his dream...

Man has lived a hard life
While trying to live free
Voting and living in fine
Houses never intended to be
Somehow treated badly while 
Others took away their families
Rosa Parks wanted her rights
In Montgomery Alabama

Man always endured in life
Beating half to death

Violence and hate; he abhorred
Though scorned by...

When innocent dies,
Whole universe cries,
Even of dear earth,
We can hear, outcries,
But selfish human being,

Where would we be without
Martin Luther King?
We would be living
in the biggest lie created by society.
A country with a lower cast

"We the people"
We would not be "United States"
And this would not be a "Perfect Union"
Words only cannot "Establish Justice"
And we would...
