'There is something in the soul that cries out for freedom'; <br />There is something in the heart that bleeds for another; <br />There is something in the mind that wants for equity; <br />This travesty's exodus from each is needed, for long-sought finality- <br />To banish forevermore, this all-too-pervasive bother; <br />But one answer presents more than ever-I need Him! <br />Should my penance of today hasten this liberty, <br />I would want for naught else, but that given me; <br />Alas, freedom purloined by another's whimsy <br />Is not freedom at all, but fallacious and flimsy; <br />If need be, I shall bide still, and wait <br />For time and distance to further abate <br />What is now overwhelmingly, painfully real; <br />This is all I may do, until I finally begin to heal! <br /> <br />*Martin Luther King, Jr. <br /> <br />-Maurice Harris,14 Febraury 2011<br /><br />Maurice Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-something-in-the-soul-that-cries-out-for-freedom/
