Notes About The Poem

          

Black Perspective

A Turning Point In Life Is Equality
        Writings in a Black Perspective....  	

   The day will come  when all will be the same color
      The mingling with the neighbor
         Just like it was in the  beginning
            No one will have a rainbow blinder

   Harriet Tubman, born a slave 
      Devoted to save
         Those that wanted  freedom
            Not sold or enslave  
 
   Jackie Robinson was given a rough time 
      For being black in all white baseball teams, in his prime
         Couldn’t not sleep or dine  with his teammates
            At  anytime

   Rosa Parks  sat in the front 
      Of the designated black section, indignant
         She refused to give her seat to a white passenger.
            She  was arrested for the incident

   I went through life suffering racial discrimination
      So I harden   my soul   because of rejection
         A turning point in life is equality
            And our salvation

Tricia Lucas-Clarke April 26, 2018 at 6:36 AM Eve - Love your poem. I've shown it to my 11 year old son who still has difficulty understanding how someone can be disliked or discriminated against because of the colour of their skin. He is lucky to mix in a multicultural society and accepts people for who they are. I hope more of his peers think like him as he grows, but I fear not and he too will one day face discrimination. Eve Roper April 26, 2018 at 10:53 AM Thank you, Tricia, for your wonderful comment.. I hope he will never have to see the discrimination, but you do have it out there in this world. Hugs Eve
