Broken Dream


A system plagued with innate discrimination,

is justified by the masses of the nation.

Mass incarceration of minorities,

shows genocide is above priorities. 

And then what is it that we see?

Violence, voter apathy,

Lack of education and poverty. 

All paints a scene that Martin never dreamed.
