the bus rebellion


off from the grind and on the street I am tired, I am beat I sit here to rest my feet I believe there is no reason to give up my seat on the bus from the street does roll the racist police man on patrol he who ad-hears to the white moral code he says,"miss tell me you weren't born on the road, the front is whites only on any bus, why do you try to sit with us" I looked that man in the eye and astonished him with my reply "you talk to me like a dog that drools, I am sick of your white simple minded rules, I am no less human than any white man, the creator made us all part of his earth bound plan" now i have been arrested for my act but now the correct attention is in tact even though this story sounds like none the same but with out Rosa Parks these civil rights we may not have obtained
