I'm sorry Dr. King
It seems we didn't learn the lessons that we needed to from your struggles.
We haven't used the last thirty years wisely, because if we had, it wouldn't be acceptable in any part of the country for racism to exist.
And yet it does.

"Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he's gone

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And we'll be free
Some day soon, it's gonna be one day"
