the time of his assassination came when he was calling for a coalition of all the poor Black and white, and urging that they create a union. He was arousing a sleeping giant when he was cut down.

Movements come and movements go

Leaders speak, movements cease when their heads are flown

'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads

Departments of police (what?), the judges (what?), the feds (the feds)

Networks at work, keepin’ people calm

You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam

He turned the power to the have-nots

And then came the shot

If they don’t have you hating the other, you start looking up at the greed and power hungry people keeping us all down. Religion isn’t the answer as there is also hate for the other ingrained in it. Humanistic social policies that put humanity before profit is the only way we can make it 100 more years.

The funny thing about the gospel of Jesus if you actually read it is it specifically calls out class warfare and condemns the rich and powerful.
