Quotes From Three Great Men...Who Died For What They Believed



Four Score and seven years ago…
As Abraham Lincoln
Quoted his most famous speech
He also quoted “all men are equal”
He was shot dead for what he believed

I have a dream
Said Martin Luther King
To see equality for human kind
He was shot dead for what he believed

I believe that all human beings
Have equal rights
Said John F Kennedy
He was shot dead for what he believed

Three great men
Three great minds
Thinking as one

But never survived time
Makes me think as to why
We do this to our own selves
As human beings we destroy
What we fear

What’s so wrong about equality?
For all human beings
Why can’t we share this planet?
Equally….with dignity…for our
Future….our children…our hope

What is so wrong in simply believing?
We can be the same in all we do as human beings

No matter what race or creed our colour skin you are
We are one…Is that not a dream worth living for! ! !
