Repost: what would #MartinLutherKingJr say - v2 #poem #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #dream #America #MLK #justice #BelovedCommunity

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
