A Simple Dream (In memory of Martin Luther King Jr.)
by Debra Rose (Age: 21)
copyright 06-08-2005


Age Rating: 7 to 127

 
To Martin Luther King Jr. May we all one day be as great as him. And to all the people who died for equality--your sacrifice shall never be forgotten.



It started with a spoken dream,
It shall not end till we are one
Until equality finally rings,
It started with a simple dream.

We shall fight till we are free,
Even if we are never done,
It started with a spoken dream,
It shall not end till we are one.

Till every person sees the light,
And color stands for not a thing,
We will not give up the fight,
Till every person sees the light.

Even children know its right,
Despite the threat as one they sing,
Till every person sees the light,
And color stands for not a thing.

As one people we shall stand
With blinded eyes, and open hearts.
Side by side and holding hands
As one people we shall stand.

To right a wrong, unite the lands,
For that is how a legend starts
As one people we shall stand
With blinded eyes, and open hearts.



The last two versus were the creation of Reggie. Thank you so much for coming up with such a perfect ending for it!

A serious write, using your abundant skills, nicely done..Walt

Very well done, and I liked the repeated lines. It tied the work together, stanza by stanza. It also framed each phrase to cause us to think about each word and the overall message.

The only problem I saw: it's = it is, not its. The thing I learned that really taught me the difference on this? yours = your, possesive. same with its = it, possessive.
