The U S (There's No Better Place) Poem by Kevin Seales

Doctor Martin Luther King
An honest man with a dream
Of people looking beyond their color

But in ninteen sixty eight
He was sent to the pearly gate
A brave man, not like any other

But on this special day
We can proudly say
That his dream has finally come true

When a man can face a man
Without making a stand
For whats different between me and you

No matter what the weather
Millions of people came together
To support our new commander in chief

There are people who died
And people who cried
And some had a sigh of relief

Be it black or be it white
We can all have the right
To have what it takes to be free

Just look at each other
And call him your brother
Cause we're americans, you and me

So let it be known
Our country has grown
From denying certain gender or race

The opportunity for success
To rise above the rest
In the U S, there's no better place
