Brother Martin Luther King Jr. Did Not Die In Vain Poem by Hebert Logerie

Brother Martin Luther King Jr. did not die in vain
Heck no, the Kennedy brothers did not die in vain
And many, many youngsters did not die in vain.
The fight goes on, the struggle goes on.

It not easy to think and to write about the pain
That our ancestors have endured over the years
They fought and died for this land of opportunities.
The fight goes on, the struggle goes on.

Heck no, Brother Malcolm X did not die in vain
Many brave young fighters did not die in vain
It is a shame that many agitators are so insane.
The fight goes on, the struggle goes on.

Jesus Christ was crucified and died for our sins
Presently, we cannot have a resurgence of gangs
Racist gangsters roaming in our lives like crazy ants.
The fight goes on, the struggle goes on.
