Remembering Rosa Parks
So graceful and kind
So honest and true
While she sat down for me
She stood up for you
Only by refusing to move
When ordered to
She paid the price
And satisfied our dues....

Rosa Parks
Would have been a hundred
Were she alive today
Human beings of any colour
would gladly let her sit
Anywhere on the bus
With the possible exception
Of the driver's seat...

Rosa Parks
Sometimes monumental events
Have humble beginnings
Like the unyielding courage
Of Rosa Parks
Refusing to give up her seat.

Rosa Parks
Stubborn refusal by Rosa Parks
to up from her bus seat set off sparks...
that ignited flames of Civil Rights movement.
'Twas a legendary, watershed moment!

Most Expensive Thing To Be
What is free?
Was it the chains on my, ancestors feet?
To be free?
If caught was the risk of, getting beat,
Free?
The cheapest word with a, fee,
Free?
There's the lottery then homeless who, never eat,
To Be free?
Does this mean Rosa Parks can, keep her seat?
What is free?
The cost of a dollar i'd never see.
FREE?
The most expensive to be......

Black History
Black history goes back down to our roots
It's apart of who we are
From Rosa Parks to Martin Luther King
We got to get up, raise our voice, and sing
We should be proud of who we are
Sometimes we're looked down upon because
people don't understand what's at hand
We're a people that's dwindling
But what matters most is that we love and care
Even though we might get a blank look or stare
Thank God for black history....
