Together
I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
Because my conscience leaves me no other choice
I join you in this meeting because I am in deepest agreement
With the aims and work of the organization which has
By-which-had-all
Of the organization which has brought us together
Together
We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values
We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society
To a "person-oriented" society
When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights
are considered more important than people
The giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism
Are incapable of being conquered
We still have a choice today
Nonviolent coexistence or violent co-annihilation
We do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long dark and shameful corridors of time
reserved for those who possess power without compassion
Might without morality
And strength without sight
Now let us begin together
An invisible book of life with a lost opportunity
We are now faced with the fact, my friends
that tomorrow is today
We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now
In this unfolding conundrum of life and history
there is such a thing as being too late
Procrastination is still the thief of time
Life often leaves us standing bare, naked and dejected with a lost opportunity
We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values
We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society
To a "person-oriented" society
When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights
are considered more important than people
The giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism
Are incapable of being conquered
Together
