FREEDOM RIDERS VIBE

A Poem by anthony blake
"

CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

"

We 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.

Food for thought, I have read some of you're poetic pieces.
Not that it matters nor it should it. Philosophy comes in
Many forms, I just wanted you to know that your poetic voice is one that is appreciated and vary much heard.
