Five score years ago

Martin signed

the emancipation proclamation

A great beacon of hope

he ,

was to millions

but in billions

black negros suffered in billions

burnt in the flames of

withering injustice

Longing to be free

but,can never seem to be

 

The life of a negro

still crippled by

the manacle of segregation

bounded by the chains of descrimination

lived on an island of poverty

all my black sisters and brothers

were left stranded

for one hundred years

 

In constitution and declaration of independence

they signed a promissory note

for black and white men

guarantee a life of liberty

 

He stood strong

without prejudice

he refused to believe

the bank of justice is bankrupt

he refused to believe

that there are

insufficient funds in great values

of opportunity of this nation

this Black nation

he cash a cheque

he demanded

the riches of freedom

they raise their hats to you Martin Luther King j.r

as a token of thankyou
