It is nobody's fault <br />you're poor, black, hispanic or dead <br />of an Islam bullet <br />centuries from home. <br /> <br />It is terrorism <br />that prevented your education or <br />denied you your constitutional rights <br />of a democracy, running scared <br />of it's individual privileges <br />to disagree. <br /> <br />It is American <br />to stand up, fight back, <br />to speak out, against injustice <br />for the poorest, most ignorant, <br />unworthy, or disabled <br />amongst us. <br /> <br />Turn your back once, <br />and the privilege is revoked <br />for each of us to claim <br />'Am I not a man? ' <br />Worthy of the dignity of life, <br />of inherent liberties. <br /> <br />Now that the disenfranchised <br />have become the majority, <br />how must our 'dreams deferred' <br />explode?<br /><br />Cheryl Lynn Moyer Peele<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/martin-luther-king-s-dream-revisited/
