Al and Martin

Funny how the Spirit moves

Inhabiting place and things

Alas, partnering with man

Dreams and truth

Battle scars influence Leaders

Memory and hope

Light shards pierce darkness

Torture and spy

Lie and subvert

Voice speaking truth

Finally

All were amazed

at the authority with which he spoke

Hillsides now filled to hear

in need of a leader

longing for hope

turning anger to unity

a flame fueled by sorrow

uncovering a sleeping giant

ready to embrace humanity

without fear driven pace

now gathering

as in Chicago

as in Washington

lead on Al

lead on Martin
