Happy Birthday Martin Luther King Jr. He was born with a natural flair To inspire in times of despair In pursuit of a goal That was etched in his soul With a cross he was happy to bear Atlanta is where he was raised And embarked on the trail that he blazed To be morally strong And make right what was wrong For the social correctness he craved After college he studied theology While distinguishing fact from mythology Then he preached in a church Quoting chapter and verse Of the Bible’s distinct etymology With his passionate words he became A voice of societal change He endorsed breaking laws When it suited his cause But a civil approach was his aim In Selma he marched for the rights That were always accorded to whites Then the world was aware It was seen on the air While up north there were sympathy strikes On April the 4th, ‘68 Reverend King met his ultimate fate In a dastardly act He was brutally whacked But by whom we’re not sure to this date So we wish Happy Day and Godspeed To a man of a vanishing breed With a dream to fulfill Pushing peace and goodwill To the flock he was destined to lead barnesandnoble/w/celebrity-limericks-from-muhammad-ali-to-warren-zevon-neil-dickinson/1120806438?ean=9781460252215
