MLK - He Had A Dream

“I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

“I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”

A man ahead of his time,

his vision feared by many,

his heart an outpouring wealth of peace.

He walked the walk,

talked the talk,

then one day, died for his beliefs.

But his words resonate around the globe,

lifting up souls to say,

“ I am who I am, and proud.”

He now walks among the great ones,

his dream of a pure heaven realized;

he waits for all of us where freedom does ring.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”

… and we are.
