Thank God

Scars are permanent and so is ink These things I unveil are just what I think Rosa Parks and Ida.B were women fighting for you and me Martin marched and Malcolm fought, yet either way our freedom they sought No one gave up, and for that I love them more than words can be written So many people risked their lives and all I have to do now is agree and abide Beaten, killed, lynched, and drug Still we befriended the enemies with hugs Denigrated, castrated, humiliated, and frustrated Still we rose like the intelligent people proving to the world what we could be What Martin Luther King thought for you and me I’m glad these tribulations and trials were in the past “Thank god almighty we are free at last”
