a burden unanswered
the truth before us
looking in the mirror
calling us to vision
to imagine his dream
to see more clearly
the divide remaining
the haves and have-nots
the work yet unfinished
the Dream unfulfilled
so many yet hungry
so many without promise
no jobs, no life, no hope
a burden remaining
weighing heavy, a stone
on our hearts
