I have a dream assignment.

"We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."

Martin Luther King Jr. was displayed his mastery of metaphors in his speech, and this quote is no exception to that. When he compares justice to water, and righteousness to a mighty stream, it's interesting to note that the water flows through the stream. He is expressing that justice has lately not followed the path that it should, the stream, as in the path of righteousness.
