Your holding yourself back. Your limiting your abilities, disrespecting yourself. You ask why I say this? Because of the way in which you have written this. Youve taken a strong proud message and turned it into street talk. You want to get accross to readers then you need to empower yourself more through your writing. Write with pride and then you may impact on people the way you wish to. You speak of Martin Luther King.. well, can you imagine him ever typing up a message like this? I dont think so, because his words were his power.. not only his message but the strength behind them and that strength came from his convictions, convictions he respected. Some of which, were education, and taking pride in yourself and everything you do.

Use what you have written here and create something far greater.

^i agree
the message that you could bring with this piece can be so much stronger and deeper if you revise and re write, try to put more emotion in it, you dont want it to seem like your just reading words or speaking to one of your friends
work on word usage, chosing the right words to make the piece have a larger impact, structure, and addin some of your own style
keep elevatin
