We need more poems like this, and more people like Rosa.

I think that your poem about Mrs. Rosa Parks speaks volumes of appreciation of a true legend. This dear lady inspired me to reach for heights that I perhaps would not have otherwise. I think Mrs. Parks should always be remembered for her courage and convictions. She had the courage to face her predicament and the conviction to do something about it that change history for better tomorrows. One can have courage without conviction but you can't have conviction without courage. Mrs. Parks possessed both! Most excellent and thoughtful perspective on Mrs. Parks.

Sticking up for your own rights is the most important things in the world. Only in most men and women today, courage is what is needed, yet it is pure seggregation that seem to fail us in times of trouble.

She stood up by sitting down is just like fighting using rubber knifes. :)

Great, 5.

rosa parks R.I.P. Nice poem i really felt the soft strongfelt power in it. She really did give racism and seggragation a backflash to blind the blind that couldnt see. Were all the same, in this game.

can you imagine, being arrested for not agreeing to comply with, and respect the insane mentality of seggregation? she did more than well to not accept this flagrant lack of respect, and sense... she was indeed very courageous to have stuck her ground with this, considering the times she was living in... but like you say, a single timely act can have a huge impact in the end... Mrs. Parks refused to be treated in this manner, calmly defied the "normal" expectations of the times, and set in motion a revolution, knocking sense into thinking people who witnessed this outrageous outcome... im glad people finally reacted to this nonsense... it should have never been that way in the first place... Mrs. Rosa Parks, a name to never be forgotten... thanks for keeping her memory into the light (where it should always remain)... a wonderful tribute ever shining your precious heart... *hug* xx
