Martin Luther King, Jr.

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

During these times - i felt i needed a hero in my life --

someone to believe in - listen to - follow -- take direction from

i rediscovered Dr. KIng and through the amazement of youtube he can speak to us again and again -- his freedom speech - has 9 million views --


i was hoping that our new president would be someone i would want to follow - but i am sorely dissapointed --

so - Dr.King is my President -

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
