King Obama

A sonnet for racial unity, influenced by two great men of color.

Two profound men of color speaks for all, In a nation divided by color. Lack of equality is the downfall. Unity is needed, going further.

King fought to bring an end to racism. End brutality with guns, sticks and fists. How are we united without welcome? Please, don’t ignore civil rights activists.

There’s a reason for nonviolent protests. Obama challenged the racial divide. Change can happen without civil unrest. Racism is not to be justified.

King and Obama wants equality. Despite many flaws, we love this country.
