A Tribute to MLK With My Poem
A poem honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the dream of freedom and equality that still inspires us today.
I spoke at Saratoga’s Unity in Community Day event and received second place in the speaker competition. Here is the poem I shared.
A Dream that lives on!
Today we all sing
In honor of Dr. King
Wherever people fight to be free
We remember him with dignity
When black people weren’t treated right
He took the strong lead to fight
He fought with love, not guns or darts
He changed people’s minds and hearts
But some people didn’t like his words
He was taken away to a better world
His dream lives on that all can be free
When we knock the walls between you and me
Martin Luther King’s life didn’t last
His dreams and hopes are free at last
Happy MLK day!!
