He’d be 96 today, years of struggle, changes slowly come
what would the world be like now
if he had lived past 39
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Flags flying at half staff, remembering
a great leader who passed
one hundred years he set the example
lived his faith to help the poor
“We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace. We can make the changes, and we must.” Pres. Jimmy Carter
Lying unqualified hateful man
friend of tyrants near and far
no good thing ever has he done
how can so many follow him
“We’ve been waging an all-out war on American democracy.” Pres. Donald Trump
On this day we remember, we look back
at lives well lived and great deeds done
inspiring us all to help the world
lift up the fallen, heal our awesome planet
On this day we look forward with trepidation
fearing the future, fighting for what’s right
people of goodwill joining together
to stop his evil plans
call, write, sing, march, help, love
I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you visited me… as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me… Jesus (Matt. 25)
