In the Wake of The Dream
A letter to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
Dear Dr. King, who led with dream and deed
Your fertile voice sowed freedom’s seed
In this humble poem, I seek to convey
The enduring legacy you left on display
You marched in streets, not yet free from night
With a dream of dawn, a future so bright
Your words, like rapids, flowed with truth
Feeding trees of change, bearing freedom’s fruit
From mountaintops you saw the promised land
A world united, hand in hand
You spoke of a dream, where children play
Unshackled by color, in the light of day
Your courage, a beacon in history’s gale
A testament of love, against hatred’s veil
In times of despair, your vision stood tall
A symphony of peace and freedom for all
In letters from a Birmingham cell
Flowing with equality’s story to tell
Your words, a compass in a world astray
Guiding us toward humility every day
