Luther, The Man Who Brought Freedom 

 
Samikshya Thapalia

DOB- 6/24/97

He was a man that changed our life

His passion and obsession freed us all,

Led us to believe,

But now look at us…what have we become

Martin Luther King Jr.

The man who changed the world and the way we think

He separated segregation form America and opened our eyes

He helped the blacks, Hispanics, and Asians

He gave his life so we can live without suffurage

If he were to see the hatered we have in the world today

He might as well feel disappointed to see his lifetime work go to waste

He got slapped and hit but he didn’t scream or yell

All he said was why with not a bit of fright

His house burned down and he went to jail

He did nothing but only got more enthusiastic about fulfilling his dream

He might have destroyed segregation but there is still hatred and death is his word today

He changed the world and is watching from above

But on April 4, 1968 millions of people gathered in Memphis, Tennessee to watch Martin Luther King Jr. perspire to the skies above

Being shot for changing the world was the worst punishment he could get

The way he died shattered millions of followers

But all he did was for us and only us

For our world

For our people
