Dr. Martin Luther King
Marched to make freedom ring
He was leader of civil rights
And visited Asia and Africa,
Witnessing many sad sights
With his every breath
He stood for justice
Up to the day of his death
He left a wife and children behind
Cut down by a bullet from a sick mind
He asked a friend to sing
"Precious Lord, Take My Hand,"
Moments before he left this land
His spirit will never die
All must join in justice' outcry
Discrimination, humiliation, abomination
Must be eliminated from our nation
Black, white, brown, yellow or red,
All must carry on the movement he led

Author Notes
A little over a month late, but I was thinking about the April 4 death of Dr. King
