BLACK AND WHITE





Today the USA remembers Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
while black-Marines are dying in Iraq and in Afghanistan
side by side with their Latino-Marines-comrades ....
while , and accidentally, the higher officers are ,mainly,
still of a much-lighter-colour.

Today blacks and whites
sit near each other on the same Bus
that takes them to some Naval-Base ,
to board a ship towards Basra, Beirut or Baghdad

No more segregation on the US-buses !!
and even Obama may come , as close as,
to smell a presidency.........
before soon , a White-supremacist
or even more "conveniently" , a Muslim-fanatic
might repeat the same drama , as 40 years ago.


Not Obama nor Dr. Rice
are anywhere near to Dr. M.L. King Jr.
they only share the colour of his skin,
but not the colour of his ideals
.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was more white
than many white-people.....with their black intentions.
