MLK Poem



What will go down
As the Greatest demonstration
As a great beacon of hope
This was a promise…

To his hallowed spot
Of the fierce urgency
We cannot be satisfied
That unearned suffering is redemptive

I have a dream
Every valley shall be engulfed
Every mountain shall be made low
This is our hope

Rough places will be made plains
The glory shall be revealed
And all shall see together
This is our hope

This is faith
Go Back
We will be able to transform
Into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood
