Jan 2019
Struggles upon struggles
Fight, Fight, Fight
Protest into true confess
Civil Rights strong with a meaning
This is what Dr. Martin Luther King was demonstrating
Justice with Equality for all and continues to be an absolute must
It’s not about one Race but all being us
The mission was to bring all Races together on one accord
Of course this was going to happen under the watching eyes of our Heavenly Lord
It wasn’t just a dream but it was a vision to move forward, and step back
Civil Rights was the floor plan for the world to take their rightful place
But Dr. King wasn’t going to stop until Justice was in the right face
Avion in beauty
Multitudes being unity
Today 2019, the battle still continues
But 2019 seems to be stuck in repeat from the 1960’s
Dr. Martin Luther King has passed on
But we as the people need to get along and show the powers that be that we belong
Change takes a time, but time has a victory
Victory is its own story
Civil rights seems to be pushed back
But what would Dr. Martin Luther King think of that?
Dr. King is probably turning over in his grave
Now injustice has gone rapid and doesn’t know how to behave
Dr. Martin Luther King was a true leader and devoted in what he felt should be right
Now we shouldn’t take his efforts being light
Voices with power still have might
Dr. King’s dream did come to life
No need to cultivate with sugar and spice
Yet, Civil Rights still has continued work to be done
Let us all come together being among
It doesn’t matter from sun up to sun down
Civil Rights should on our lips being found.
