MLK Jr. Still Lives

A poem about a man who changed history

He fought for justice

For those who looked different 

Who we judged against so harshly

They are people too

Only their skin is darker

They breathe the same air

Eat the same food

Drive cars and ride bikes just like us

Why do we treat them differently 

For they are equally human like we are

That is why today we celebrate MLK Jr.

Because he made us remember 

That they deserve to be treated equally
