Martin Luther King Would Be Turning in His Grave
my hands in my pockets, curled fists, one earphone out. I know you — I know that look. we’re martin luther’s failures. he’s turning in his grave to watch us kick our way to freedom and we’re civil rights in action; we speak too loud ; I don’t have your white hand
