Our last tour of this day –
The memorial of Martin Luther King Jr.
next to the tidal basin
Across from the Jefferson Memorial.

I could not help but wonder –
if every man is created equal
then why ( economics) were there slaves !

The statue is gazing across the basin as if to ask that very question.

Today we think back knowing what we know-
Yet – generations have come and gone
and that rancor still remains

“I took a picture of one of the sayings – I could not help myself in walking around and taking a picture of each ” Paul Peterson

This was our first visit here
I found it profound and troubling at the same time

Profound that it took so long
Troubling because 400 years later –
it still exists .

and those that follow are as sheep

I stand with comprehension
I wield my vote
and I communicate in church
with my faith

Pondering what they see

Today –
we must not let those in power move us backward
with fear and hateful words
but reflect on our teachings
from those of a much kinder generation

Thank you for letting me share this with you
