Mind Chatter: For Rosa Parks

Her name: Rosa Parks The day: one
The year: 1955
The month: December
The place: Montgomery, Alabama

Rosa: she tired she say
She tired when she board the bus
walked down the center isle�tired,
sat ( in the first of the last ten pairs of seats.) tired.

Fable go: black folks couldn�t ride up front
black folks seats in back a the bus
they just like a bugs
sit �em in the back of the bus so,
tired, tired Rosa-she sit down in the back of the bus

Bus got crowded
Driver tell black folks sitting
in the last ten pairs of seats
to stand to "make it light on themselves" Stand!

Rosa ain�t stand
(ain�t make it light)

Fable go:
King say:
Black folks not no bugs so
"Rosa Parks anchored (anchored)
by accumulated indignities of
days gone by, the boundless
aspirations of generations yet unborn"

King say:
"Rosa Parks a victim (a victim)
of the forces of destiny."

King say:
"When the cup of endurance runs over,
the human personality cries out"

Rosa Parks, she cry our, she cry
for the black African brought on a slave ship
�packed like sardines in stale water
she cry, she cry our so
I can sit on the bus
she cry; she get arrested
she get finger printed
she quiet
she sing in her mind:

Fable go: Nobody de know the trouble I see
Nobody know but Jesus.

Rosa Parks tired; black folks tired
She found guilty on 5 December 1955
black folks tired; they start the boycott
cause they tired
my mama tired, too
she in the boycott
yo mama, yo daddy in it, too
they walk. They don�t catch the bus
they crawl; they don�t catch the bus
they walk. For over a year;
they go to court, keep
going on to court.

The court get some sense

Fable go:
June 1956 Montgomery Supreme Court
back of the buss sitting for black folk ain�t right.
November 1956 United States Supreme Court:
back of the bus sitting for black folk ain�t right.
Rosa Parks stopped walking
Black folks stopped walking
White folks stopped walking, too

Rosa Parks get some rest
Black folks get some rest
White folks-they get some rest, too.
