It came in a moment of passion, in a moment of passion, can be taken away.
Think of all the men and women
who are now resting in their graves;
though years have passed I will not forget
the price our forefathers paid.
I've paid the price of freedom
some say, "the price is too high!"
Live as a slave, you make the call,
I'd rather "live free or die!
I know not the names of the fallen,
those who died to make this country free.
I'll remember the price they paid,
"freedom belongs to me!
I'll honor our dead, protect their dreams
cherish freedom everyday.
It came in a moment of passion,
in a moment of passion can be taken away.
So if my freedom is being threatened
no price would be too high.
"Give up freedom without a fight!"
"I'd rather live free or die!"

MARTIN'S LAST DREAM
When I think about Martin Luther King Jr., many thoughts come into my mnd.
His God given power for speaking the truth, when he lived in his days & times.
I can still see him in my mind, remember how the world would listen, when he'd speak.
He had a great comission of love and a great commission towards Peace!
He knew death was coming upon him he knew what he had to face, he said,
"Like any man I would love to live a long life, for longivity has it's place".
"But I'm no worried about anything, because I've been upon the mountain top
and I've seen the coming of the Lord."
God spoke to Marin on the mountain top shortly before him life came to an end
and the next poem you'll hear is what I BELIEVE, God said to him!
GOD spoke to Martin on the mountain top and tod him, "Your live is nearing it's end."
Though he have no hatred for anyone, that there were many, who hated him.
"The same people who hate you will benefit from what you've done my friend,
I'll show you what lies ahead because you won't get to see it with them!"
"When your people were being mistreated, I found you marching for them in the streets.
In a country full of injustice you cried out for Love and for Peace!"
"This Dream you have of Unity, comes from believng in what Right,
many hate you my son because of your Dream, so their plotting to take your Life!"
"They think they can stop this Dream by setting out to kill the man,
but the fools don't know that this Dream of yours will spread across this land."
"So tell the world that you've been to the mountain top so you have noting to Fear
You've seen whites and blacks living as brothers and that day is drawing near!"
"Martin, you've sreved your people and mankind well, your a man who truly cares.
great riches are awaiting you my son, for your mansion has been Prepared!"
@Agrippa- The Poet (1973)
"I AM SO THANKFUL"
Someone asked me the other day, 'What are you thankful for?' I hadn't given it much thought, even though I think I live my life as a person thankful for all that he has. But now that the question has been asked, I feel I must give a true account of myself.
I'm thankful for my parents, who taught me that it's My Right and My Duty, to treat others with respect and kindness. My father use to say, "Son, always treat people with kindness and respect because you'll never know who's butt you'll have to kiss before you die!" When I think back, it's that statement which has helped me so much in life. I am my father's son.
My mother, she taught me about patience. While teaching me how to cook and wash and sow, she taught me how to be patient. I'm so thankful for that!
My ex-wife Louise, I'll always have nothing but wonderful thoughts of you. You were the first love of my life. Thanks for the (3) wonderful children you blessed me with!
For my children, Dee, Artie, Anthony and my grandchildren Jasmine, Diamond, Darius and my great grandson TJ, and Arthur Agrippa, I am so thankful to have all of you in my life.
Thank you Lord for my beautiful wife, Linda Marie Williams ,who has walked with me through my kidney donation and at my side as I fought with prostate cancer.
You are the final piece to the puzzle I needed in this life. You are such a big part of this dream, this life, that we both share. You have helped me to achieve my dream in life. "To live life the way I saw it as a child! " I love you Linda Marie, for being who you are and for all that you do!
