This work was based on the achievements of Martin Luther King. I recently read a book about the Civil Rights Movement, so I felt like writing a poem based on the ideals of the campaign. For a little background, Selma, Alabama, was one of the more racist areas in the United States in the 1960s. As a result, it was one of the bigger concerns for African-American Civil Rights groups.

Through the streets of Selmaย
Freedom walks, freedom rings
He yells, chants, for the people
As his words shine and bling
Emanating from Martin
The Luther to the King ย
White to the left, colored in the corner
Acquitted for trial, but Emmettโs at the coroner
Martin will end it, oh yes for sure
For society as we know it is still not pure
Through the streets of Selma
Freedom has something to say
And he will not stop talking
Until the last of his days
Emanating from Martin
The Luther to the King ย
And may the voice of freedom
Continue to singย
