Tribute
A Birthday Pome To Martin Luther King
The racist white man aimed to rewrite,
History silenced, your fight ignites.
Killing flesh out of spite,
Views on mistreatment, not right.
They thought your death would keep all at bay,
Yet your voice, through quotes, won't fade away.
Legacy, fighting injustice, won't rest,
The world knows you gave your best.
Your spiritual energy, enduring until this day,
Doesn't allow existence to dissipate away.
Compassion for humanity, in your heart,
And Never to depart, a timeless art.
Fight for equality, a crucial role,
In the civil rights movement, a steadfast pole.
Martin, fought injustices, heard the people cries,
Brought issues to the public's eyes.
To destroy wicked people's sin,
Despising colors of brown or dark skin.
Melanated people pray to God,
Seeking an end to this period broad.
Existence on this earth not a mist,
But an impact, positive reaction gist.
Carved a special day, a federal holiday,
Institutions closed, homage in a loving array.
Famous speech "I Have a Dream,"
From Lincoln's steps, supreme.
Recited to remember your civil rights fight,
Resonating through both day and night.
Other speeches on civil rights,
Keep your people on solid ground, pressure ignites.
Leader's acceptance speech, Nobel Peace Prize in '64,
A humble rise, history does adore.
And the inspiring “Our God is Marching On!”
Given in Selma, Alabama, where strength was drawn.
