I have written another pun-filled epic poem; This time in honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and MLK day.\u00a0 I dedicate this poem to the legacy and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and all of those who have been inspired by the American civil rights movement in their work for justice and peace.\u00a0 This MLK poem is about seven pages long and can be viewed at: Owed to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Poem<\/a>, or you can download the poem as a PDF file for easy viewing, printing or sharing at: Owed to Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Poem<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the beginning of the poem if you need a teaser…<\/p>\n

Owed to Martin Luther King, Jr.<\/strong>
\nby Top Pun<\/p>\n

Rekindle the story
\nOf Martin Luther
\nKing, Jr.
\nAn unequalled story of two halves
\nThose who halve
\nAnd those who halve not
\nAs far apart as North is from South
\nA Protest-ant leading a Reformation
\nTo not have a preyer
\nWhat kind
\nOf moral fiber
\nIn a sea of White
\nTo pick
\nA fight
\nBringing
\nNot even
\nA knife
\nTo a gunfight
\nAt the OKKK corral
\nTaking a beating
\nAll that they can give
\nTo the man
\nA hymn
\nOf racial harmony<\/p>\n
