Doctor King’s dream was clear, But the police don’t seem to care. Blacks are still being treated unfair. Mama, don’t shed another tear. There are riots in the streets. I wonder if we’ll ever live in peace. It’s like a repeat of the sixties. Some of them will be arrested. Don’t matter if we’re yellow or brown. We don’t need to be gunned down. So, drop your weapons y’all. Another brother doesn’t need to fall. Some say there’s improvement, We don’t need the civil rights movement. Obama became President, But I say that’s irrelevant.

The heart of my heart important to my wellbeing, warms me by his choosing. Beats like as drum, rhythmic as it goes on. Sings songs of praise, holds unto me. Comforts in my moment of need.
