Equality Overdue

  Just watched 15 minutes of 'The March'.  I grabbed my remote pressed record that's all I could do.  I couldn't move I was transfixed to screen.  I've had heard about the march I have seen clips of the march.  I was astounded by the sheer volume of people there who were truly integrated, they showed a water fountain where you saw black and white people drinking from the same fountain. powerful.  

Best thing I have seen on tv for a  long time.  totally inspiring.  


prompted me to write this.

 #209 Equality Overdue

They owe me

they owe us all

for the equality

that is overdue

forced

to treat

me different from you

if I was taken on my merit

where will I be ?

what could I achieve ?

I will live her life

while she looks at me

5o years ago he had a dream

the dream is still not realised

I am sad to console

all those who were there

who marched

and walked

who made their voices clear

everyone had something to say

it is as if there never was that day

did it happen?

did it really occur?

all that they wanted

is still wanting

this is 50 years on

equality is still haunting
