Brown V. Board of Education

Crowded pathways, cameras rolling, court's ruling,
Do they know I'm just a child?
School is school, does it matter if I'm black or white.
I bleed the same color,
Why does it matter if my skin is brown?
Why is media and press surrounding me,
Is it wrong?
I don't think this is fair.
Will the judge agree?
It's so unfair I don't want to bare.
Do they know I still have feelings, but they just don't care.
Am I not smart enough, or maybe I'm not good enough.
When they integrate the school it would be victory,
Something like integrity.
Now can you see what it means to me,
They kill my pride with the way that I look.
I don't want much I just want to go to school,
But they sit on me like a stool.

Education is an eternal topic of discussion. I really liked your verse. It would be nice if you could help me with college papers so that I get more information about your poems and other works. It would be very interesting for me to talk with you about education and other social areas.
