MY PERSONAL SPEECH OF LEAD AND I SHALL FOLLOW HONORING DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING
Fear not, but be courageous on
I see wisdom in the sunrise
Hope within the sundown
I hear cries for Justice
Shouts to end separation
Anguish through the struggles
I won’t turn back, I will move forward
The mission is onward
It’s the fight for Civil Rights
It was travels I am observed
Understanding helped me to be aware
Opposition upon Opposition just didn’t care
I the fight was going to be a long haul
It was Night and through Daylight
I stood on promise and being honest
I grew weary and felt tired
Civil Rights remained strong on mind in don’t let time expire
I encouraged people we must carry on
Chant after Chant, “We Shall Overcome”
I saw the image of God, and his words was, “KEEPING MOVING MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS”
Stay the course like I did going to the cross
Remember, I am Mighty and true
I am your victory, and you shall pursue
Dr. King maneuvered through those very words
Marching, Marching and Marching
Through Major Cities and Towns
Dr. King was like Moses to Freedom
But Dr. King’s mission was, “Recognize people with Dignity”
Every footstep was discerning
But sacrifice has its own story
However, God would provide the glory
A quote from Medgar Wiley Evers, “YOU CAN KILL A MAN, BUT NOT A DREAM”
It was through Dr. King’s dream providing the determination that he shall not be moved
He was beaten and put in jail
This only added more mobility that transcended
It was time to March to WASHINGTON, DC
I heard the echoes of the song, “PRECIOUS LORD TAKE MY HAND”
But it established “Lead Me On”
Voices upon voices woke up Washington extending to the entire world
Racial Equality was an unjust
The moment of truth had come true
Victory was ever getting near
Opposition was focusing Hate into Fear
God made it all possible and worthwhile
That was the 1950’s and 1960’s
Peace became golden thereafter
The leader, Dr. Martin Luther King has been assassinated, but proved in his fight he intended to win
However, history seems to be reverting back where the fight for Freedom all began
Eye on Freedom and Voting in 2022
Voting rights are being attacked
Media has made it a fact
We can’t lose sight
Dr. Martin Luther King fulfilled to the world, “We are the Might”
It’s not about Black, Brown, White or any other nationality, it’s about coming together as one and respecting one another regardless
Dr. King loss his life
His words then and now would still be good advice
If Dr. King was alive today, he would say, ‘MOBILIZE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, STAND YOUR GROUND AND BRING PRINCIPLES TO THE SHORE, AND LET YOUR EYES BE LIKE AN LIGHTHOUSE IN ALWAYS BE ALERT AS TOMORROW WILL ARRIVE ONCE AGAIN”
Aim towards Freedom as I showed you the way
Never go astray
I am in Heaven, but my spirit will carry you every step of the way
You told us to stay United
Focus on Mission
Finish until done
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Dr. Martin Luther king
