My Neighbor's Dream
by adewpearl
|
If I discount my neighbor's dream, what does that say about my own? If yearnings of another's heart fall deaf on me and he's alone to struggle through this mortal coil while I ignore his life's turmoil, what satisfaction can I find when I've walked past one left behind? How bright can my achievements gleam if I discount another's dream? |

"Mortal coil" is a poetic term meaning the troubles of daily life and dates back to Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy. Today we celebrate Martin Luther King's life of service and the dream he held for all his neighbors. My poem is dedicated to his honor.
