More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

Everyone who’s born has come from the sea. your mother’s womb is just a sea in small. and birds come of seas on eggs. horses lie in the sea before they’re born. the placenta is the sea. your blood is the sea continued in your veins. we are the ocean — walking on the land.
Mother Horse Lying
Your eyes are as a flame, but our brothers have neither hope nor fire. your mouth is cut of granite, but our brothers are soft and humble. your head is high, but our brothers cringe. you walk, but our brothers crawl. we wish to be damned with you, rather than blessed with all our brothers. do as you please with us, but do not send us away from you.
Brother Blessed Humble
Remain faithful to the earth, my brothers, with the power of your virtue. let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth. thus i beg and beseech you. do not let them fly away from earthly things and beat with their wings against eternal walls. alas, there has always been so much virtue that has flown away. lead back to the earth the virtue that flew away, as i do—back to the body, back to life, that it may give the earth a meaning, a human meaning.
Brother Wall Giving Love
The sea of galilee and the dead sea are made of the same water. it flows down, clean and cool, from the heights of herman and the roots of the cedars of lebanon. the sea of galilee makes beauty of it, the sea of galilee has an outlet. it gets to give. it gathers in its riches that it may pour them out again to fertilize the jordan plain. but the dead sea with the same water makes horror. for the dead sea has no outlet. it gets to keep.
Life Beauty Death
The birds of the air die to sustain thee; the beasts of the field die to nourish thee; the fishes of the sea die to feed thee. our stomachs are their common sepulchre. good god! with how many deaths are our poor lives patched up! how full of death is the life of momentary man!
Death Men Air
The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually. we have learned to fly in the air like birds and swim in the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers.

Is 'fat' really the worst thing a human being can be? is 'fat' worse than 'vindictive', 'jealous', 'shallow', 'vain', 'boring' or 'cruel'? not to me.
