Rosa Parks Poem by Kelvin Rush

I think you'll find you're in my seat
You belong at the back get to your feet
Stand up at once you should know your place
Remember you belong to an inferior race

My dear white friend you seem to forget
You've no power over me I'm no one's pet
I'm flesh and blood with heart and soul
You have no authority to take control

I'm one of many billions just passing through
If you cut me I will bleed just like you
No one is superior not you or any other
We are all one being you are my brother

I can only assume your poisoned mind
Has possessed your soul and rendered you blind
I know in your heart you have compassion and love
Don't be angry my friend let me give you a hug

The white man felt ashamed he didn't know what to say
They hugged for a while then he quietly walked away
Never again did he make racist remarks
He'll never forget the day he met Rosa Parks
