Martin Luther King Jr.

yes it was so much

about a black woman who could not ride in the same bus

as white people...

as splitting white and black people

but haven't we come back

to difference once again.

he was bugged by the FBI

for wanting nothing more

than people to work together

toward a common vision...

all Christians after all

seeking the fruits of the spirit:

peace, joy, kindness, patience, goodness, self-control, faithfulness, gentleness

if we are all to attain these characteristics, then

we were not so different.

he suffered

because he realized that his real enemy

was the Middle Class

because he saw

that people wanted to be separated,

they did not want to come together.

why is it always those who try to do good

who are crucified,

we look upon the evils of the world

and blink

we do nothing

we turn to stone.

there is no reward for doing good,

just suspicious glances,

perhaps future rewards,

everyone is happy with their own piece of the pie

and we live small lives,

we talk about our dreams

but when someones tries to realize them,

then we crucify her.
