MLK said he had a dream

I wondered if he was alive today,

What he now would think

A catastrophic world of mess,

And catastrophic wars

And still the black person’s biggest threat,

Are those who should uphold the law

Where drugs are still a threat to all,

And the victims are in plain sight

And not enough people seem to car

About these lost people and their plight,

And while part of society is getting richer

Many are getting existentially poorer,

And politicians are playing games

At real people’s expense,

Both sides say they fight for all

But they’re I it for themselves,

These fat rich cats who squabble and argue

Have and always will be friends,

It’s all an act by the establishment

To keep everybody else from power,

And as real people suffer each day

They sip champagne in their ivory towers.
