has his dream really come true?

1.) Before the great Mlk decided to present a speech

He had this vision or this hope referred to “I have a dream”

A vision of equality he saw through the people’s crimes

Because black and white was nothing but a boring TV screen in its time

The segregation and separation of such a community

Only showed the lack of support they had in areas like unity

People getting beat because the color of their skin

Or not receiving education because of the complexion of their pigment

Lynching and curse words thrown out on a daily

Kind of how people in Halloween throw out different candies

But when a world so full of hatred gets the best of attacks

We create a contaminated future constantly having to watch our backs

And what has this shown our kids? may I ask

2.) Every word dropped is n***** so small but so strong

It becomes a human trigger that some feel is wrong

Keyword “some” because not all understand the meaning

But if you think about it it’s not their fault because our generation is deceiving

So tense in a rival can’t even choose your seat a bus

Without being oppressed and attacked like that good old “Rosa parks”

Martin Luther king such an influence on us all

Made the blacks have confidence and stand up a little tall

But there’s always “that guy” that just can’t cooperate

He shot and killed Mlk in April, 4th, 1968

A peace maker of their time now lying cold in the ground

All because of a superior race their hope had slowly drowned

Today as of now 2013 do I think that things have changed?

No I actually believe that things have stayed the same

3.) Reinforcement needs to help remind them because of lack of memory

But how hard is not say “n*****” just out of my curiosity

Personally as a young black teen I believe we are Ponokisos saying “we obey the dream”

Because of brothers killing brothers instead of listening to their mothers and they disrespect each other while not providing for son’s and daughter’s

Our world is so corrupt poisoned by a lack of communication

But could we take a second to not say comments that are so racist?

Because if we could take a moment to appreciate all of our faces

God took 7 days to create a place where humans could roam freely

But that doesn’t happen If we cant obey the kings dreams

4.)I think you can change yourself and the people all around you because

Community means together and you could redirect the minds that surround you

But if one soul were to take a stand and fight with determination

We could heal our yellow brick road by convincing our nation

And to the republic in which It stands we will have peace justice and equality for those who are willing to make that dream happen

“five score years ago a great American In ,whose symbolic shadow” ……

We will follow their footsteps in
