The Seventeenth, Jan. 07, 2011

Today we remember a man
some will remember the dream
some will remember Memphis
we all should remember the cause

equality for all, regardless
removing prejudice bias
eliminating all forms of racism
things are more than black and white

we must remove color and creed
gender and age as reasons for hate
it is still wrong for white to hate black
and as wrong for black to hate white

The dream calls out still today
seeking an end to all discrimination
a noble cause for every one
a goal worth the effort to attain

to bring about the world he saw
as he spoke about his dream
requires everyone to look inside
seeing past their own color first

ending the cycle by starting within
removing it from our own hearts
I try to live that dream every day
and hope that soon everyone will

  1. Seeking an end to discrimination, would love to see what our world would be like if the "dream" became reality.
