For Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his service to humanity
A King who served like Serena Who showed there was no one way to be free He had the blood of those who fought Jim Crow and NINA And saw the same struggle of Ali as Charles McGee A man whose enemy was Non Serviam Who knew doing nothing was as bad as doing wrong He risked everything to speak the truth on Vietnam Indeed, the moral arc of the universe is long
[1] NINA means “No Irish Need Apply” and was used to discriminate against Irish Catholics. [2] A reference to Dr. King’s statement that the moral arc of the universe is long but bends toward justice.
