40 years

I got this today from someone is concerned as I am about how we continue to live Dr King’s dream

40 years and the church stands mute in acknowledging the assassination of Dr. King.
40 years and we bumble, stumble and mumble about appropriateness.
40 years and we continue to deny the pain and tragedy our nation suffered that day.
40 years and we still can’t talk about race with one another…’uncomfortable’ blankets a smoldering fire.
 
40 years and our children struggle to graduate from high school.
40 years and our children are judged as underachieving.
40 years and excellence is a theoretical concept.
40 years and we have yet to trust one another to love as Christ taught us.
 
40 years from now I’ll be gone from this earth.
 
So what will our grandchildren say about our legacy ?
Will they say again; Why did it take 40 more years ?
 
Time is forever marching, are we ?
