Martin Luther King:
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual.
Now is the Time
By Undakova
Now is the time that I am calling on courage
Now is the time that I go deep inside
Now is the time that I don't feel I am selfish
Now is the time that we need our pride
Now is the time that it is great to be human
Now is the time that we all come alive
Now is the time that we know what we're doing
Now is the time that we all shall thrive
You see the love you receive is not the love that you read about
Nature designed you and me to breath in and out
You could pretend you don’t need all the oxygen from leaves
and the forest and its trees and could be without
the air and habitats of greens can’t be weeded out
and all beings on this planet is what we about
at first I didn’t understand I was freaking out
thought we would destroy this promised land That we dreamed about
But then I seen my doubts
And then I realized that I had to redefine my mind deep beneath my scalp
IT ain’t an easy route
But if i wanted to live in perfect harmony its me who would need to scout
That’s when I saw integrity I had the least amounts
started to live compassionately kicked the demons out
and times i still got mad so angry I screamed and shout
but i slowed down and gained the patience to see it out
Now I don’t need to pout
Started cooking for myself stopped eating out
beans, grains and legumes is what I am seeking now
juicing on my own, started eating sprouts
I stop supporting the breeding of beef from cows
the truth is their diseased before they reach ya mouth
and all the feed and the feces that’s leaking out
into the rivers and the streams got us seeing droughts
even bees die out
Now is the time that you guide my dreams and
Now is the time that I wake up
Now is the time that I am not sleeping
Now is the time cause enough is enough
