Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!

a tribute to rosa parks


dear lord,
she was a fed up black woman
that took a chance and stood up for blacks rights
just for that she went to jail
and stayed over night


she was a brave black woman
who did what she had to do
because if anything went wrong
she knew that she could count on you


even though the white men
thought what she did was wrong
she had to keep her head up high
and continue to stay strong


she was recently laid to rest
knowing that she succeeded
in fighting for what was best


she is a woman
that everyone should cherish in their hearts
and never forget that her name is
ROSA PARKS
