FOR MLK WEEKEND...COME TO MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE

Going to a party at my neighbor's house today
The people that I meet inside I know what they'll say
"Welcome to the future, the past is memories"
Come on to a party at my neighbors house with me.

And when we get inside this house
I know what we will find
Answers to a question that's been
Trapped inside our minds
No one is invited who doesn't give up hate
Don't come in with greed or envy
Leave them at the gate.

Going to a party when old enemies shake hands
Going to a party when all at last are free.
Going to a party when the world at last unites
Come on to a party at my neighbors house with me.

And when we get inside this house
I know what we will find
Answers to a question that's been
Trapped inside our minds
No one is invited who doesn't give up hate
Don't come in with greed or envy
Leave them at the gate.

Going to a party with no bombs and no tanks
Going to a party for all races and creed of man
Going to a party with every nation friends
Going to a party that I hope will never end.

HAPPY MLK DAY

Hello to All,

Why it is that you ghettobilly Negroes do not champion Dr. King's last speech. Dr. King said that God had allowed him to go to the mountaintop. He said that when he looked over he saw the Promised Land. He ended by saying that he may not get to the Promised Land with us; but, that we as a people will get to the Promised Land. He made his speech in Memphis, Tennessee. He was there to support the Black sanitation workers against discriminatory practices by the city of Memphis.

So, why it is that you ghettobilly Negroes do not wonder what Dr. King meant? Why is it that you all do not champion the mountaintop speech? Is not the mountaintop speech directed directly at us, Black Americans?

You all play down the significance of Dr. King would all do stupid stuff about coming to a party and leaving hatred at the door. What is mentally wrong with you Negroes people?

Tell me what you think.

Hello David,
