The Dream of a King
The Dream of this King was to let
freedom ring;
He jnade hearts- and many voices sing;
His lust for equal justice,
concerning the dark deprived man;
He showed America a powerful
and kind hand;
His insight on the world was ingenious
?and real; ? ? :
So the fair-skinned American decided to kill;
His spirit and his righteousness lingers on;
His seed of truth is keeping Black
America strong;
And the dream he had was a vision of God;
But the^fair-skinned man found it to
be very odd;
The power of his voice still carries on;
It rings in people's heads from dusk to dawn:
The needed amount of fairness that he
should have received;
Did not stop his mind in what he
truly believed;
In this country leadership is easily given;
Yet this leader was pushed, battered
and driven;
The beautiful grace on his face;
Would put every bad-minded person
in their rightful place;
Since the good will always out-weigh
the bad;
The loss of his soul should not make you sad
For this soul is resting in a peaceful dream;
I am talking about nobody but the mighty
MARTIN LUTHER KING .
