ROSA PARKS
(poem Just one black woman riding a segregated bus
would stand out for all blacks although not intended for such
A simple seamstress as her story is told
would change protocol for all blacks down the road.
Her name Rosa Parker, would be remembered by all
no one could denie the strength Rosa had on that December day
When told to give up her seat for a white man boarding a bus
she stood her ground and quietly refused the drivers request
Her courage and conviction lead to intergration instead of segregation
she was a strong woman and believed in equality for all
all god’s children were made to be together and walk tall
not fighting over skin color that really shouldn’t matter
This woman was proof that one’s soul is what counts
never regretting her actions or decision to stand her ground
for every woman, man, and child's rights to be found
This issue is on it’s way to being resolved
it only took one strong woman to start this quest
and others to follow and show their best
Even though we may still have work on our plates
people like Rosa Parker has helped bring a little less hate
s go here)
