Soul Poet Tom Zart's = OBAMA & MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.
by Tom Zart OBAMA & MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. OBAMA'S INAUGURATION DAY POEMS FELLOW AMERICANS Will we battle terrorism as it should be fought Or run away and let evil doers chase us to our door? Will we protect our freedom and system of life As our fathers and grandfathers sacrificed before? Will we secure our borders against illegal entry Or let our economy and security be destroyed? Will we finally stop runaway wasteful spending By leaders who are self-serving and void? Will we continue to pledge our help to the less fortunate Who suffer from war, hunger and disease? Will we preserve our heritage and our future From those who wish to bring liberty to its knees? Never be afraid to be proud of America And march with the thankful, honorable and just. Never surrender our freedom of choice Standing firm for what we believe and trust. Sometimes it's hard to protect what is right Sometimes we're scorned as for others we fight. Some of us are willing regardless of loss To commit our soul to save the cross. Evil prospers on greed and human hate Always eager to destroy and defecate. God's grace descends on the souls of man Cleansing the impure wherever He can. As long as man has struggled on earth Life has had its troubles from birth. God's seed of goodness has delayed man's demise Thank Heaven for his heroes the strong and the wise. The Lord adores his heroes of yesterday Just how numerous, only He could say. God loves his soldiers who line up to serve By standing against evil His grace they deserve. God Bless America PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TWO WORLDS There are two worlds, this one and the next Man's is deceptive, temporary and full of blame. God's is permanent, loving, truthful and complete Free of hate, lust, war, greed and shame. Our bodies belong to this world and die Our souls come from God's and return. Virtue is knowledge of what is right or wrong As the lessons of lifetime we learn. Humans are disorderly, wasteful and corrupt All are guilty of the ignorance of sin. The worst crimes practiced on Earth today Are the sadistic deeds committed by men. History persist but nothing has changed The world we live in is more dangerous than before. Most people never know the true facts or answers They just follow the leaders they fear or adore. The falsehoods of politics shadow man's soul Testing our faith, temperament and resolve. Real heroes defend, liberate and unite Facing problems with a mandate to solve. President Obama I pray for your wisdom To deal with America's troubles and enemies at hand. Man's world is God's boot camp of divine worth As the misdeeds of man crisscross the land. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Reverend King, one of the most influential black leaders To ever march for civil rights and justice Was born to a minister and a teacher of school. Educated to where he earned his P.H.D. Becoming a pastor marching against what was unfair and cruel. Leading a boycott to protest bus segregation He gained national prominence in 1955 and 56. As he preached and marched for freedom for all He was jailed, threatened, spat on and beaten As for peaceful demonstration he would call. Marching to Washington, D.C. In 1963 He was one of the leaders of faith Voicing concern for the plight of the poor. Soon there after, he was killed by a sniper In Memphis, supporting workers rights and more. King dedicated one of his books to his children Praising God and praying for mankind's future With words for all to prayerfully remember. To be judged, not by color, but by character Shunning violence never to surrender. Dr. King will be remembered down through history As a man whose mission in life was the enrichment of others. "A Soldier For The Lord" with goodness of heart Risking everything for man's freedom and equality. From his legacy of self-sacrifice we must refuse to part. SLAVERY When you chain the neck of a slave The other end fastens to you. Your heart and soul become corrupt And all which is evil you'll do. No government shall exist for ever Who's people are not really free. Though around the world there are those Who stay blind to how life should be. Any who must enslave others Will dwell in their own living hell After death, they'll join their master In that place from heaven he fell. But till then we'll fight and resist Making them put their chains away And those of us who may die first From heaven shall watch and pray.
