In Honor of Martin Luther King
We All Have A Dream
We all have a dream.
Mine is that one day,
all God’s children
will stand on the mountain peak
and speak with one voice
so that the world will have no choice,
but to hear that we are tired of the violence,
we are tired of the fear!
We are tired of the bruises,
we are tired of the misery,
and like Martin Luther King,
we just want to be free!
Free from the pain,
free from the apathy,
free from child abuse
and tyranny.
Free from injustice,
free from cruelty,
for we’re all God’s children
and we deserve to be
free from the chains of this indignity!

I read and shared your poem with State employees from the Department of Social Services in Louisiana. It is powerful, and impactful! I am the regional recruiter for our area, and your poem is befitting for the month of April and beyond! Thank you so much for sharing.
P.S. I was careful to give you full credit for your poem.
Be Blessed!
