I Still Have a Dream
After 50 years
Martin Luther King’s
‘I have a dream’ speech
Still sends fire through my spine
And tears to my eyes
Even though we can hear
The music of the promised land
We are still not there
The more we beat the drums
Of social injustice and despair
It only becomes clear
That nothing will be given
That is not fought for and earned
