The Spark of Rosa Parks


Once there was a woman named Rosa Parks Her famous action created a spark It all started long ago On a bus ready to go She got on the bus to take a seat Not knowing what she will meet The more the white men crowded the bus The closer her fate became known to us When a person asked her to leave That's when racism payed its fee She refused to release the spot that she bared Knowing that it would be more than a dare As they arrested her and threw her in jail All the African Americans began to rise Seeing how lady justice failed her side Soon after that, Americans everywhere had equal rights And racism no longer had any might Now a statue stands tall to congratulate her While hatred in our land is almost a blur
