[Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence by Rev. Martin Luther King - 4 April 1967]
"I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight
because my conscience leaves me no other choice.
A true revolution of values will lay hands on the world order
and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just."
This business of burning human beings with napalm,
of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows,
of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into veins of people normally humane,
of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields
physically handicapped and psychologically deranged,
cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love."
