Rosa Parks

A hard day Rosa
Any seat was your due
But blacks don’t sit
When whites rule
Ignorantly
Weary were you not
And I wonder what from
The racism
Or the long day
You held firm that day
You gorgeous girl
Segregation
And Jim Crow laws
You showed a “quiet strength”
And with
Martin Luther
A pair of black Aces was played
