an inspiration


a man just spoke in a park in Chicago,
a psalmist echoing affirmation,
detailing a litany of adversity-
challenges met by a people undivided

grown men wept as dreams were realized
as a man spoke in a park in Chicago

the weight of the world held aloft by hope
public men were humbled
and a new day dawned at midnight
as a man spoke in a park in Chicago
