To Martin Luther King JR.

He changed the world!
The understanding of mind!
He taught people to be thoughtful,
He proclaimed it was time.
He opened people's hearts and eyes to all the unfairness of their lives.
He believed it did not matter the type of skin-
But the character of people which is held within.
He wanted justice and freedom to ring from the land,
To burst out of hills, valley, and man
He had one simple dream-
That man would someday be on one team.
They will all join hands and agree
To treat each other equally.
And look.
Look at us now.
where all here, together, hand in hand, cause somehow
Martins dream of justice became a reality.
His dream became everyone will.
What a legacy.
