[bodytext] => THE UPDATED SPEECH These are the words that Mr. King would say, if he was alive and well this very day..... On the twenty-eighth of August in 1963 Mr. King stated that the Negro still wasn't free. But I believe that he meant those not only of the African origin, but of all the minorities included in such poverties of the current world today. But now its different, and now he would say, America hasn't gotten much better, Now every women and man is a slave to their own pleasures, To the money, the greed that has no real treasure or value. He would say, look at our youth, they seem to grow weaker because society blinds them from the truth, But reveals to them a world of cars, and cash, the things that will forever melt away fast. Dr. King would then say, all people of America don't try to run from the past cause it will always catch up with you, And this is fact and it is so true. And if you don't believe me look in the streets and you’ll find your proof, And if you still can't see, let me tell you I do, I see death and no longer is it just the police brutality causing this informality of seeing my brothers and sisters hearts bleeding and turning to stone I mean can you blame them? In this world their all alone looking for a place that they can truly call home. So wild and free so they will roam. People are still saying that peace is all we need, while they are willing to kill their own family because of greed. Now I look back at the speech that I wrote and the words that I spoke and wander what it really changed? In this poem written as a letter to all citizens of America did things get better, did they really change...are they worse or did they...just stay the same?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
