…Sitting Ducks…simply waiting…
Society in concert deemed it so
A People aware…yet complacent
…Centuries steeped in the know
Later taught by the Preacher
Singing….praying his technique
…His reward….death came calling
When he turned the other cheek
Singing and praying has its merits
….Within specific frames of mind
Turning the other cheek…problematic
…As the Preacher was soon to find
That merely sitting simply waiting
…Singing…praying as technique
Allows a mischief ladened future
....Once one turns the other cheek
Which all begs…another question
…Amidst a world….of speculation
Had the Preacher instead created
National Negro Rifle…Association
Imagine Congress in Joint Session
…King’s NNRA declared delusional
Decreed forthwith…indeed hereafter
…2nd Amendment…unconstitutional
There’d be no weapons extravaganzas
…..Forever banned…..the inclination
No NNRA…shape form or fashion
….King’s final dream’s….imagination
