The Struggles


Sweaty hands, pacing heart The struggles of everyday life It took one to sit To make a stand She knew the consequences But had no idea what she was apart of This was a struggle of many She sat for her freedoms The bus was stopped and would not budge Until she stood up and gave away her seat In Montgomery, Alabama something big had started She stood for many years on that one time When she refused to give away her freedom

Nice, very creative. I like it.

I created this poem to represent everything Rosa Parks did for the future citizens of the Unites States so everyone had a equal chance and was treated as a equal.
