40 Years Through the Wilderness
By N.W.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
was a man with a dream

He grew up knowing the world
was racist and mean

He always did so well in school
this developed him into an academic tool

He was an Activist by day and a Reverend by night
he had to be… when things didn’t go right

His house was bombed when his wife and kids were there
how horrible, the agony, pain, despair

All the while, he gave promises of civil rights
it was for equality and the investment of life

One hot day, the month before May
a man by the name if James Early Day,
took our Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. away
