In celebration of Martin Luther King Day, January 19, 2004.

The Dream


He had a dream for all of us
to see with eyes colorblind
But too soon the voice was silenced
Though the thread is still entwined

Hands joined in brotherhood
shedding tears with tolerance
A life given to end the pain
of denied independence

Celebrate the birth today
of Martin Luther King
Close your eyes to bigotry
and let true freedom ring.
