While
watching the funeral
for
Rosa Parks,
I thought
of how Rosa gave it all,
for
a seat on a bus.
It
was huge what Rosa did.
A
complete thing,
at
a time when fighting injustice,
meant
the loss of life
and
liberty.
Today
people seem content
with
little, and just want more
of
what means nothing
and
settle to mourn with empty souls.
Rosa’s,
full of love, liberated us all
with
a simple and humble act,
from
those that today still carry
the
torch of subjugation.
What
Rosa Parks did
was
not a little something,
a
half measure of rebellion,
Rosa
gave her life for that seat;
all
we have is our life.
The
bigots we feed our children,
to
keep acceptable injustice
stoned
Rosa.
Help
us stand Rosa
and
not kneel at pews of fear
that
turns us into sheep,
that
slaughter others
and
keeps us in hell
by
threatening us with heaven.
