Tired Iron Feet

More From Martin Luther King, Jr.

You know, my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled over by the iron feet of oppression. there comes a time, my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. there comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life’s july and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine november.
Inspiring Tired July
People have said over the years that the reason i did not give up my seat was because i was tired. i did not think of being physically tired. my feet were not hurting. i was tired in a different way. i was tired of seeing so many men treated as boys and not called by their proper names or titles. i was tired of seeing children and women mistreated and disrespected because of the color of their skin. i was tired of jim crow laws, of legally enforced racial segregation.
Hurt Children Giving Up
When the sun shouts and people abound one thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze and the iron age; iron the unstable metal; steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, then nothing will remain of the iron age and all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass in the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.
Mother Rain Thinking
I do remember, one time, a man came to me after the students began to work in mississippi and he said the white people were getting tired and they were getting tense and anything might happen. well, i asked him "how long he thinks we had been getting tired"? i have been tired for 46 years and my parents was tired before me and their parents were tired, and i have always wanted to do something that would help some of the things i would see going on among negroes that i didn't like and i don't like now.
Tired Men Thinking
Inevitably people will get tired of me. people get tired of everyone except jimmy stewart. i'm not saying jimmy stewart would get tired of me, i'm just saying people will never get tired of jimmy stewart.
Tired People Just Saying
I'm rightly tired of the pain i hear and feel, boss. i'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin to or why. i'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. it feels like pieces of glass in my head. i'm tired of all the times i've wanted to help and couldn't. i'm tired of bein in the dark. mostly it's the pain. there's too much. if i could end it, i would. but i can't.

They are never alone that are accompanied with noble thoughts.
Single Lonely Loneliness
Say who you are, really say it in your life and in your work. tell someone out there who is lost, someone not yet born, someone who won’t be born for 500 years. your writing will be a record of your time. it can’t help but be that. but more importantly, if you’re honest about who you are, you’ll help that person be less lonely in their world because that person will recognise him or herself in you and that will give them hope.
