Yesterday was a day set on one side

To remember a man with a good hide

Who brought together millions to walk

Through the nation with a mission tall



To bring awareness of equality thru-out

This country, and all the world, to shout

Out the pain, anguish and long suffering

Which was the inequality then existing



And through his work, we, now, no longer sting 

And are better equipped to deal with these things

So we pay homage and quite overdue respect

On the birthday of a man who knew no neglect.
