Dr. King
Wake up my people
We don't have time to dream
It's action time
Our countries at war
Did the Dow-Jones soar?
Unemployment at an all time high
The bush administration will deny
Weapons of mass destruction
We don't have time to dream
Time for reconstruction
Al Sharpton, Barak Obama, Jesse Jackson
Why are we waiting for their reaction?
I repeat
Deployment
Unemployment
Regentrification
Discrimination
No child is to be left behind
Miseducation of the Negro
Is America blind?
Who's keeping the dream alive?
Did it die in 1968 After Watergate?
Knock on the door of Dreams
Maybe reality will Answer and say
Dr. King did not intend for us to limit ourselves only to a DREAM
Wake up, Wake up, Wake up!
Written by Sharon M. Ponder in response to a once a year dedication to learning about Dr. King's dreams for a better America. Most children walk around in a comatose state not realizing that Dr. Kings dreams were about taking responsibility and ownership of improving the world, the environment in which we live.
