"If a man hasn't found something
                 he will die for, he isn't fit to live."

                               --Martin Luther King, Jr.

precious Lord
he was king
his dream is not dead
he was faith
his dream is not dead
he was Spirit
he was hope
he was his dream
his dream is not dead ...

he scaled
the mountaintop
and in that rarified air
he loved
he dreamed a new vision
for all people
and that dream
deepened his love
exposed his soul
crucified his flesh
cleansed his Spirit in blood
in ashes ...

he looked over the mountain
he transcended our limitations
he became source
he became strength
he became Georgia red clay blackness
he became larger than Life
he became more than just a dreamer
his dream
is not dead ...

                --Martin Luther King, Jr.
                  (1929-1968)
