MLK, the world still not live up to your dream
But for the looking glass
I don’t know how I look
Short of discrimination of class
I’m unaware of the difference
between a hairdresser and a professor
a chinese , or a japanese
I am not a woman, not even a human
I might as well be a rock or a tree
I would rather decay or melt away
Into a dark matter as a mad hatter
Than to choose to be or not to be
WHY the disintegration and discrimination
Why the disdain and detain, deportation and exploitation
Why can some hold the throat of the other in serfdom
Why the territory, barbed fences round a kingdom
Aren't all lives created equal and free
Oughtn't we all feed on the life tree
God's children, and children of light
Shouldn't we share the same right
Doctor King sacrificed himself to a dream
wherein no marginal,no mainstream
Shall people die out in martyrdom
Before the world settle in peace and freedom

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy
MLK 28th Aug 1963
Solidarity.
Amen!
When trump was elected & started the project of putting a wall around the USA with the rest surrounded by an ocean (moat) I sent letters to the president, vp, house, senate, government officials to ask questions,
1)Did they realize putting a wall around America was in effect making the US a prison. As the only thing I could think of with a wall like they proposed was a prison.
2)Did they realize that & decide yes they wanted to live in a prison, along with all of US.
3)Could they just please renounce their Citizenship now. As I wanted to renounce mine as long as they were in office.
Oh yeah now Drumpf has a wall around the White House. Damn!
trump is only the symptom of what we have become here in the USA. Don't know why the "white" race so called evangelicals can't see that. As in why are their 2 Christian Churches 1 wants to dominate & control through some kinda of manifest destiny bull crap, the other is very Loving & Welcoming to all us sinners, kinda Christlike.
you might as well turn your letter into a satirical poem, which might prick him up somehow!
