you come out at night that's when the energy comes and the dark side's light and the vampires roam you strut your rasta wear and your suicide poem and a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came you're building a mystery
you live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls and you won't give up the search for the ghosts in the halls you wear sandals in the snow and a smile that won't wash away can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way oh you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm but so careful when I'm in your arms
'cause you're working building a mystery holding on and holding it in yeah you're working building a mystery and choosing so carefully
you woke up screaming aloud a prayer from your secret god you feed off our fears and hold back your tears
give us a tantrum and a know it all grin just when we need one when the evening's thin
oh you're a beautiful a beautiful fucked up man you're setting up your razor wire shrine
Martin
Luther King, Jr., (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) was born
Michael Luther King, Jr., but later had his name changed to
Martin. His grandfather began the family's long tenure as pastors
of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, serving from 1914 to
1931; his father has served from then until the present, and from
1960 until his death Martin Luther acted as co-pastor. Martin
Luther attended segregated public schools in Georgia, graduating
from high school at the age of fifteen; he received the B. A.
degree in 1948 from Morehouse College, a distinguished Negro
institution of Atlanta from which both his father and grandfather
had graduated.
Although this speech is very lengthy, I think it's ALL too important to remember!
At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the
youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize. When
notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over
the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights
movement.
On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of
his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a
protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that
city, he was assassinated.
