Vol. 1 Chap. 620
MLK Day ~ 2022
I’ve Met Sailors! I Know Marines
Who’ve Had to Employ Any Means
Just To Survive 'til End of Day!
Their Raw Courage Conquered the Fray!
Now Imagine Where Martin Stood
Knowing the Clash Certainly Would
Pit His Non~Vi'lent, Unarmed Force
'Gainst Angry Mobs with Clubs or Worse!
Where Did This Man Look to Summon
The Guts the Rev'rend Must Call On
To Offer Passive Resistance
To Those Who Hate His Existence?
Martin Stood for the Civil Rights
Poor, Disenfranchised, Whites, Non~Whites!
Throughout the Years, the Fears, the Tears
His Ranks Swelled with New Volunteers!
In Washington, King Shared His ‘Dream’
With Throngs of His Non~Vi'lent Team!
The Folks I’ve Met Rush Toward Combat!
Stand and Get Hit? Who’s Brave Like That?
Your Grampa Sure Loves Y'All!
Love~Grampa
