Ode To Martin Luther King Jr. - I Have A Dream



Fifty years ago on this very special day,
You shared your dream; you had your say;
The two colorful worlds stood and listened to you,
Your speech of love and peace had blended them anew;
The bond was always there you tapped them on the spot,
With ‘humanhood’ that flew from the heart of your thought;
We are done with it, that meaningless dissent,
Black and white came close to every word you meant.

Down the time pipeline the issues though have changed,
People tired fight they are not engaged,
I’m hopeful men women, if the colour magic worked,
Fifty years hence we’d have a peaceful world.

For this to be true, we need the August man,
To unite the world into a happy caravan.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem goes as a tribute to the famous speech 'I have a dream' by MLK Jr. This was posted on my blog on august 28 2013, on the 50th anniversary of the speech. The speech has inspired millions of people like me because of its power of love. It changed the mindset of millions and millions of people, and if we look at hatred and conflict and divides spread all over the world, we can hardly negate its reference even today. It's MLK's heart that spoke and reached out to people with only the power of love.
