A movement message

It was another well-choreographed yet pitiful-some 50 worshippers who convened yesterday at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia to commemorate the life and legacy of The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who, being only 39 years old (the same age Malcolm and Medger were gunned down) was shot in the mouth on a segregated Negro hotel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. Resembling a sparkling Christmas tree with silver lights, The Rev. Dr. Bernice King, who was a traumatized kindergartener when her father was murdered by Who knows who, gave a somewhat angry speech in the year 2022 but smiled while singing “We shall overcome someday.” Why don’t they change that to TODAY? I want it to be TODAY!!! Like that morning Tv show… I’m tired of waiting for someday. Still dreaming? Wake up! Revive yourself, like Rev. Michael Bruce Curry, the keynote speaker of the Afternoon who also preached at Meghan Markle’s wedding to a prince, and stop giving Delta free commercial plugs while you’re at it. We are still the last hired and first fired, The first killed by the police, The last ones standing in the voting line without water, food or bathroom breaks, The last to get a good education or decent living arrangements The near last on the millionaire/billionaire/trillionaire list. We need a Someday Today. How long? As long as we let this shit go on. Take me to a place where I can be safe. When you find it, call me, ‘cause I want to go. Today. Stop focusing on Yesterday and Someday. Focus on NOW!
