Dr. Martin Luther King
The outer title of The Sounding, was a subject not only similar to this, but of the same vein. But today being the day that it is, the day we comerate this great man of God, how could I not speak of him? But as in the Sounding which was to be a metaphorical poem about the sounding of the great heavy bell of Truth ringing out across the land. And so it was with the good doctor, who was as that bell, a bell of revelation, a bell of Truth.
For this bell tolls still, it's sounding rings out reverberating from the rock canyon walls of our great mountain ranges. If the deaf refuse to hear it, it's deep resonance can be felt as it rolls beneath our feet. And as the metaphor of the sounding of this great bell represents the voice of God, so is it so for this great man of God. A man of peace. Sadly, in today's political climate, that voice would have gone unappreciated.
His message was simple, his methods peaceful. No violence, no ignorant screaming, just common sense logic, straight from the heart of God. For you younger ones who may not of heard of who this man was, he was like an American Ghandi. Dr. King's call was simple and straight forward. He challenged us as a nation to live out our creed and treat all equally. Not as a black nation, or as a white nation, but as One nation under God.
