what would Martin say - v2

 what would Martin say - v2


what would Martin say

in this time, this moment,

so much progress, so much pain

so much loss and sorrow

other marchers lost

those who carried the banner

who fought the good fight for justice


what would Martin say

so much of liberty stolen

in the haze of war and struggle

so many in the streets, marching,

fighting for justice, for supremacy

so many who know better

staying silent in their comfort


yes, what would Martin say

so many year forward, history,

so many days of pain, of anguish

in the country, the streets,

so many yet yearning, longing,

for justice, for supremacy

so much more to do, to dare,

to fulfill his, our, sacred dream

alone with God - 2

alone with God - 2


come closer, nearer

into the presence

in silence, in secret

set apart, alone with God


come to a secluded place

a place set apart, holy,

away from the madding crowd

the square, the spotlights


come before God

alone with God, only,

set time, a place for worship

for drinking in the word

Draw nearer, closer,

Come into God’s presence

God’s grace, God’s love.


Fall down before God,

Draw nearer, closer,

shalom and blessing to each one of you

may your life be anointed, touched by our God;

 our service in private - v2


our service in private

our prayers in our closets

to worship God

in truth, in our hearts


offering our gifts

our worship, our talents

sharing with God

in secret, in private


called to share, to serve,

to pray to our Father

but called to be private

to worship only God

marching on the Capitol

marching on the Capitol


marching on the Capitol

at the calling of their leader

incited to riot, to storm

the seat of our nation’s power

the people’s House, the Senate


marching on the Capitol

to steal an election

insurrection, sedition

in the hearts of these traitors

pawns of the leader


marching on the Capitol

no longer in theory

the halls of Congress

desecrated, savaged,

almost put to the torch

rioters in the Capitol - v2

 rioters in the Capitol - v2


Rioters in the Capitol

marchers on The Ellipse

guardsmen in the halls of Congress,

how did we come to this?


Hope for this moment

for peace and tranquility

in the transfer of power

the inauguration this week.


I pray there is safety

that no one would be harmed,

that we would be one people,

one nation under God.

what would Martin say

 what would Martin say


what would Martin say

in this time, this moment,

so much progress, so much pain

so much loss and sorrow

other marchers lost

those who carried the banner


so much of liberty gone

in the haze of war and struggle

so many in the streets

fighting for justice, for supremacy

so many who know better

staying silent in their comfort


yes, what would Martin say

so many year forward, history,

so many days of pain, of anguish

in the country, the streets

so many yet yearning, longing,

for justice, for supremacy

so much more to do, to dare,

to fulfill his, our, dream
