Remember the King
Re-live, reflect, remember, respect, Move forward… but never forget.
Some chose to sit, while others chose to stand, Long after their families had escaped the brand, Created equal and free, yet unable to be, These warriors of justice fought for nothing but peace.
Re-live, reflect Remember, respect, Move forward…but never forget.
