Civil Rights Activist

Martin Luther King Jr was a fighter He fought for love Not only love for himself But love for others Not only love for his family But for the family of others This man deserves to be free This kind of man deserves and serves God This kind of man was a hero That brought some attention To the unjust laws of humankind This man's love for equality translated through his speech, his words And I had a dream that my love for education as a young black woman would be that no matter what price I will work hard to attend the college I want to go to With my hard work and my dedication So I write this poem for not only me But for all my brothers and sisters That our dreams may look alike
