Rosa Parks

A Poem by Michael G Jameson

A tribute

"
Rosa Parks
 

 When in life
 one deed by others see
facing down supremacy
the right to stand or sit is free
an equal opportunity
 
To demand another person rise
with racial benefit implied
 immoral hate some people hide
freedom just idealized
 
Sometimes we're wrong
there's no debate
and if you find
you hesitate
accepting others' racial states
your life you need to contemplate
 
 
Rosa Parks was right to fight
equality her tool
she stood upon this moral right
she'd be nobody's fool
 
 
Here's to you my sleeping friend
forever we'll remember
the name of Rosa Parks will be
an ever burning ember

Thank You very much, I wrote it when she passed. I always admired her, one person standing her ground for moral reason. 8-)
