More prescient today in America than “I Have a Dream.”
“I come to say to you this afternoon, however difficult the moment, however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth crushed to earth will rise again.
How long? Not long, because no lie can live forever.
How long? Not long, because you shall reap what you sow.
How long? Not long: Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,
Yet that scaffold sways the future.”

Excellent message! And this reminded me of "Wake Up" By Rage Against The Machine... the last lyrics he sings are "How long? Not long, because what you reap is what you sow." -

Does this man think he'll live forever?
