A King is remembered while a tyrant rises,
Yet we will not let lessons past be forgotten.
One tries to divide through lies of crowd sizes,
And this Christian mocks and detests the different and downtrodden.
But the Black King's paternal line traced to Ireland and Scotland.
The crimes of slavery and Jim Crow---to King, they're forgiven,
Because he believed the words of Christ who had risen.
Meanwhile, the next Lincoln is inaugurated through hate and division.
Thank God he'll judge our character over our color.
And we've made progress from "Nigger" to "Other."
