My Hero
She survived the attack
Of the turpentine man
When she was just a kid
He had her pinned
To the ground
She ends up in shock
But it was a hoax
From a young adult
Trying to stop
After school fights
As a teen
She met and danced
With the legendary
James Brown at a
Social event in Augusta, Georgia
As an adult
She marched with Hosea Williams
Head of a civil rights group
She was sprayed with water
And had to run away
From vicious dogs
Years later she met
The lead singer of
R&B group called Brick
And took pictures with
Jimmy Lord Brown
My mom is my hero
