Why celebrate the birth of MLK?
A day of service, not a day of self
It’s hard to fathom prejudice’s sway
The denigration people Black have felt
When young I, too, felt prejudice’s sting
Not being Black, I felt it as a Jew
But I rejected gays; it was my thing
Insidious our hates each gen renews
It’s really MLK’s inspiring message
A letter from the Jail in Birmingham
Which led to legislation’s final passage
Acknowledging the rights of every man
Since immigrants, and most minorities
Vote Democratic overwhelmingly
Republicans have placed priority
On limiting their opportunities
And now we have a President whose views
Are racist toward those countries who’re not white
In keeping with King’s spirit we must choose
To fight for racial justice; fight the fight
