They Who Paid A PriceA Poem by LettieAnother poem I wrote in six grade.The fifty-six who signed,
were just trying to be kind. Twelve had their homes burned to the ground, the people who did it made no sound. Nine died in the Revolution War, when the British soldiers sailed to shore. Two of their sons died the same way, that caused a great big delay. Five were tortured to death, One wife got imprisoned, her name was Beth. Thirty-two paid a terrible price, because they were said to be traitors and not very nice. They were helping, fighting for us, just as Rosa Parks did on the bus. They took a stand for what was right, They spoke what they thought was true and fought with their might. That important part of history, may always be a mystery, For those who signed, were killed for being kind. © 2010 LettieAuthor's Note
