It's His Legacy

I was so taken with other stuff I missed posting a poem yesterday and for a good time today it looked like I was going to miss today too. This has nothing to do with a lack of inspiration or good health or misplaced priorities. The trouble with being an inspirational writer is that if I don’t get it down as it is pouring out of my fingertips, it’s lost and there is no turning it back. I just took a break from the other stuff and went to stretch-out in the sofa when this came to me.

 

It’s His Legacy

Is Barack the legacy of Martin Luther King

The promise of hope now materializing

Such promises that one day Blacks may lead

His promises now closer and hopes may exceed

It would scarcely have been expected that one day

Such a man of color would lead the great USA

Lots of people want this, in fact the majority

Every poll indicates Barack beats McCain and Hillary

Great then must have been the work of Mr. King

All he fought to stop Blacks from suffering

Cost him his life but it paid greatly for America

You and I may soon be seeing President Barack Obama
