So troubled is the time of Dr. King my memory does wane,<\/p>\n
Distant was that time long ago the journey creates a strain,<\/p>\n
Influence of his speeches and that event render such pain,<\/p>\n
Memories along freeways of life stand as billboards in rain,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The vehicle of transport seems broken though I\u2019m unsure,<\/p>\n
How I came to be inside this vehicle I could never procure,<\/p>\n
Is a mystery given from heaven to awaken me to the cure,<\/p>\n
I once thought myself to be aware if I was in the brochure,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How can we without color create change even just some,<\/p>\n
Most important is that color unaware must be within one,<\/p>\n
None awareness comes by being unaware with everyone,<\/p>\n
Contradiction in use of words explains how to get it done,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To see without seeing, it sounds to be an impossible task,<\/p>\n
Each time you see a man, please look to see inside I ask,<\/p>\n
Look beyond the color of his skin and of yourself unmask,<\/p>\n
Unless you see both the same, only then drink of the flask,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Understanding will come by teaching about racism pain,<\/p>\n
If we can understand the pain created for prosperity gain,<\/p>\n
A history of slavery and internment camps are our shame,<\/p>\n
Be it war or riches the minority has been treated the same,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When we thought we knew, the truth is that we have not,<\/p>\n
Though we joined with wedding band it is not as thought,<\/p>\n
We stand united yet if targeted he becomes one we forgot,<\/p>\n
He cannot be understood unless together you are caught,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I believe within my soul that every man of color knows,<\/p>\n
A huge hand of prejudice that\u2019s left a mark that shows,<\/p>\n
He bears unseen scars but God sees the sins of his foes,<\/p>\n
And we say we know, but truthfully our ignorance grows,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Unlearned is ignorance, learn what he the pained imparts,<\/p>\n
Hold his hand in unified prayer asking that healing starts,<\/p>\n
Forgiveness comes from admittance of sins even if parts,<\/p>\n
Tears may fall in a unification of all as we join our hearts.<\/p>\n
