Oh Martin
Sometimes your voide
was the thunder.
Sometimes it was the falling
rain.
Always it struck our hearts
asunder
and made them vibrate
empathic in pain.

Footnote:
Dr king continued the
pacifist nonviolence of Jesus, Tolstoy and Gandhi. He suffered more than
either Tolstoy or Gandhi.
In the White house tapes, LBJ can be heard telling J Edgar hoover that
he must stop ignoring the KKK crimes. Hooever was implicated in Dr
King's assassination. The FBI today is a very different agency from the one
Hoover led.
