“Difficult Days”….A Poetic Tribute

Martin, you said that there would be difficult days ahead
And now those days are here just like you said.

Wars and rumors of war, nations against nations
No peace near or far

But, Martin, you warned us, but we did not take heed,
And now we have to account for all of our wrong deeds

Racism still around, violence on every hand
Still can be found

Martin, you told us to love, but men just won’t see,
That no matter the color of our skin, sisters and brothers are we.

Drugs and violence is not the way,
That is what the “Good Book” say

Martin, we pray that God will heal the land,
And make this a better world for every man

Thank you Martin for your word,
We’ll keep striving to improve our world

But, Martin, you said that there would be difficult days, and now we are
experiencing them just like you said.
