Imagine an oppressive lifestyle,
Imagine segregation,
Imagine hate and spitefulness,
Infused within a nation.
Today we live in freedom,
And we don’t know any of these things,
But we still fail to understand,
The disturbance that ignorance brings,
A benevolent and noble man paved the way,
So we can all live in freedom today.
We should all thank him, black or white,
For his peaceful approach and valiant might.
And although he is not among us now,
His legacy continues somehow.
But one question still remains,
And maybe it's not too late,
What will you teach your kids?
Is it love...or hate?
