I HAD A NIGHTMARE (An ode to MLK)

I HAD A NIGHTMARE.  I had a nightmare that nothing changed. We never overcame.  America never meant for that promissory note to include all of its people but only some. We drank from the cup of bitterness and hatred rather than loving one another. I had a nightmare that the people of this nation were judged by the content of their melanin rather than the content of their character. That my girlfriend and I were persecuted for our love. That my little cousins and kinfolk were ridiculed and treated as second class. That we never realized change. That the nation never rose up together in brotherhood to scream "YES WE CAN!". I had a nightmare that we never had the voice to.

AND THEN I WOKE UP...

I thanked God for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and asked myself  "When will you be satisfied?".
We've still got work to do folks!
