The common questions

Why did they do it? What was truly in their hearts? Why did it become the norm? Many questions still linger about “why” Why any man would discriminate another Why one man couldn’t be equal to another No matter their look, accent, taste Yet one man decided to change this norm Yes, we all know him The doctor, Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. A man of God and a man with a dream The dream that all men can live equally The dream that answered all the questions His dream inspired us all His dream inspired a nation And to this day he is still remembered Not because of him as a man But because of what he passively fought for The equality of man For Civil Rights Yet I come back to my thoughts Back to the recollection of what has been on my mind My questions were not for why man “used” to judge But as to why we “Still are” stuck in this rut The rut of Racism The rut of judging by looks Or by what we individually deem worthy By law, we successfully ended segregation But did we end it in the hearts of man? Before any one questions this, ill give you an answer No Now is it common to see diverse colors out in public Yes Is the mixing of ethnicities together in one country looked down upon? No So why do I question things? Is it because I constantly still see it How many of us push the limits on what is funny Or how others still gang together by race Putting a bad reputation on what Civil Rights stood for The equality of man Maybe it’s because I’m young and am only surrounded by the immature Or perhaps I am exaggerating the common notion Either way, the only thing I still see remain constant Is not the works of any “one” man But what the works were for The dream The Equality The goal reached that if we soon forget Will only be the downfall of us once again
