Asking hard questions on MLK’s birthday
A day fit for a King
is crowned by questions
that don’t fit the prestigious nature
of our political process.
Isn’t it?
What do you think?
Will Martin’s dream
become Hillary’s nightmare?
Will a fairytale assertion by Bill
result in a storybook ending for Barack?
Will the 79th anniversary
of Dr. King’s birth
prove our society is still as sick
as it was in the Sixties?
Will this campaign
become a race riddled by
racial insinuations?
Will the content of its character
be colored by mudslinging
and dirty tricks.
Wouldn’t a great birthday gift
for the good doctor
be an agreement by those running
to start walking in a manner
that honors his memory?
Well, wouldn’t it?
