How
How can you pull the trigger,
take a life,
and walk away?
Knowing this person
made away,
save generations.
African American male.
Strong built.
Black hair.
Deep eyes,
as if they had a story to tell.
Children are told that he,
with others combing the stars,
helped pave the way
for little black kids and little white kids today.
Creating equality,
or at least,
starting the way
for love, happiness and peace to
the heart of all american men.
He spoke speeches.
Real speeches, that shook churches.
Made pastors stand and yell
“Amen, Amen, this man, Amen”.
He spoke truth.
Real true words, that stopped fights.
Made white men and black men look
around and see no difference but skin pigments.
He spoke love.
Real love, that brought tears of joy.
Made that generation, and this generation and the next generations know
that we are equal no matter who we are.
He was only human,
yes.
A man sent from God to
guide the people. Help others
and guide the masses. Pray for man
and guide the thoughts. Love with kindness
and guide.
Yes,
He was only human
but he made a difference.
A difference that shakes the earth
even today.
So how,
How can you pull the trigger,
take a life,
and walk away?
Knowing this person
made away,
save generations.
This man that stood for peace,
sat in diners for peace,
walked with millions for peace,
educated for peace,
preached for peace,
loved for peace,
rallied for peace,
lived for peace.
How can you pull the trigger?
How could you pull the trigger?
How?
