FREEDOM RIDERS VIBEA Poem by anthony blakeCIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTWe are thought of as a tribe But our destiny is written in the destination scribe A Greyhound Bus led the Freedom Way Racial discrimination and separation was not ok There was a fight for change on that day Freedom is a given right They didn’t captivate being polite They certainly didn’t just sit tight Where there was darkness, there was a guiding light Freedom Riders had a demand It was going too be Justice throughout the land It’s Equality for all being the caravan The Freedom Riders voices were a definite shout It’s was for the Nation’s Capitol to work Discrimination out The mission didn’t revolve around the Black race, but togetherness for all races Freedom Riders History was centered with a purpose having a trace They were against all odds that couldn’t be erased But was a task of face too face Opposition wasn’t going to stop no matter what It was the 1960 being a year having no defeat The Freedom Riders were determined they weren’t going to retreat They were going to speak out and be heard They were animals flocking like a herd Freedcm being the Freedom Riders first name Then last name in a determined Victory Then came the end of the story.
