Never Gave Up

By Mr King

We feel like giving up.

We get stepped upon...
We get beat down...
We get confused...
We get afraid.

But we can't give up.

We get angry...
We get lost...
We get lied to...
We get double crossed.

But we won't give up.

Justice seems too slow...
The hypocrisy seems to grow...
The greedy seem to get away and win...
Ignorant bliss seems a powerful trend!

But we do NOT give up!


And in the end...

When we saw it all...
Even though at times we had to crawl...

Still we stood tall!


With the likes of...
Martin...
Mandela...
Lennon...
Garvey...
Gandhi...
Marley...
Muhammad...
Buddha...
And Jesus...


Soul-diers for humanity...
Risen from the fall...


For the love of everyone...

For the love of ALL!
