Dr. King you should be alive today
We need you now more than ever before
America is an open cesspool
That breeds pestilence and horror
Digital transmission
Industry military and commercial
The vast resources of culture and education
Have betrayed their promise of human understanding
We have raped our mother
And condemned our brothers and sisters
To lives of endless suffering
And yet we regard ourselves as superior
In our house of razor wire and surveillance
You were a famous celebrity
Admired by many and hated by many
You knew you would be murdered sooner or later
And yet you strode out on the balcony
To preach the gospel of truth and justice
To the nation that knew its rights
To bear arms and pursue selfish happiness
In the deluded creed of rule by the majority
When the few great abused the many small
And all knew nothing of lovingkindness
