Martin Luther King Poem by Tom Billsborough

Martin Luther King

Rating: 2.8


He had a dream, the man of truth and peace,
Man-mountain of a speech, so full of grace,
His wondrous words resounding even now
That justice will be found for all somehow.
His voice as clear as welcome wedding bells
To urge us to a communion of souls,
To stand before the altar of his love.
So let us join our hands and move
Together to the music of his soul.
We must not fail
To let each man and woman find a place
Deserving of their worth, not race.
He was a poet of the brightest hue.
He had a dream. Let us make it true.

Thanks for the comment, Halin. I was thinking about him and just decided I must write something as a thankyou for him showing the way. Tom

Thank you, Gajanan. I think of him and Nelson Mandela a great deal. They hold a torch still for us all.
