MONARCH MAGIC I watch with awe as you spring
Free from the prison you enclosed yourself in;
Cracking the capsule of crystal that captures
Your beautiful body and budding wings.
You push through, and nature sings.

Like sails catching a sudden gust
Those frail folded flaps unfurl;
The sun toasts them dry of their newborn dew.
They shimmer brightly in a new world;
White dots and black stripes on rust.

Before long you enjoy freedom won,
Vitalized with rest from tiresome struggle
You left behind your chrysalis husk
That kept you safely wrapped in a bundle
And race toward the distant sun.

I know just where you will go,
As you ride the breeze to the horizon.
You will meet millions and travel south
In an orange blanket that smothers the sky
Destined to find home in Mexico.

You will soon rob this land of your grace
And leave it as dull as pale elephant skin
For many months of biting wintry weather
While you dance in warm sun rays
Spreading your magic in that new place.

But someday I will meet your kin
That will bring beauty back to my tree,
Sipping sweet nectar from its new blossoms
And hanging crystalline ornaments.

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked “insufficient funds.” but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. in this section of the speech, analyze martin luther king’s connection between a defaulted promissory note and the lack of freedom experienced by african americans. which option offers the best analysis? question 3 options: mlk creates this analogy to communicate that america has enough freedom for all, but it needs to live up to its promises. mlk makes the analogy that america has run out of freedom. not everyone deserves to have it. mlk communicates that america should equally distribute funds to all citizens. everyone deserves equal access to the government’s money. mlk demonstrates that america is improving in equality and should keep the forward momentum.
