DREAMS
Peter Woodgate
They both had a dream
miles apart, it would seem.
One who spoke up
for a beautiful change
the other who spoke
about cruelty, how strange.
One who spoke out
against racist abuse
one who spoke out
with a feeble excuse.
One spoke of love
To end inequality
one spoke of a dark land
over the sea.
Martin Luther King – a Brave man.
Suella -------------just a
Braverman
Our lives begin to end the day we
become silent
about things that matter.

If the others, like me, have never heard of Suella, they will not appreciate the irony. well done!
ReplyDeletePeter I swear your poems get better and better - and as for the last lines - so true.
