MLK-Haiku



p*ss it possible
for one mans dream to come true?
His dream is reality.

His view from the top
of that mountain is a part
of this reality.

Children of all men
can play together as one.
human race are we.

The loss of his life
made him a myrter for every-
one to be equal.

The non-violent way
of protesting is still used
today to get free.

Martin and John and
Robert all died trying to
free a people today.

Martin Luther King
had a dream that could not be
silenced by his death
