Man of Dreams

One among the throng

There was a man of God back then.
Who had a dream, a dream of when,
Each man could finally forget the past,
And we would all thank God to be “Free at last”.

There was a man who stood from the crowd;
Who preached to all, brotherhood he vowed.
Each man and woman looking one to another,
And each would say “There is my brother”.

There was a man of ignorance and hate,
Who fired a gun Memphis--April--1968.
Each man must now follow their own scheme.
And each must say “I have a dream”.
