MLK Day

On MLK Day, let’s reflect

On protests made in peace,

For choosing who we would elect

Should not require police.

 

Remember marching through the streets?

Our weapons were our chants.

We had no Facebook, had no tweets

And yet we took a stance.

 

When Martin Luther King was here,

We listened as a crowd

Within a civil atmosphere;

No violence allowed.

 

If King were somehow back today

To see what is at stake –

The future of the USA –

I think his heart would break.
