A Hero Named John Lewis
Poem By: Omarr RaSharjd Lee

A man so brave,
A man so strong,
A man gifted with untouchable leadership,
Leadership that moved mountains of racism and discrimination,
A man that is idealized for his courage, and
Heroes are idealized for their courage,
Therefore we honor his name, and
We shine a light on his great legacy because
Lewis paved a way for many people, and therefore
he is called a hero.

Words From Freed Slaves
Poem By: Omarr RaSharjd Lee

We all believe in freedom,
We all believe in love,
We all believe in blessings,
That come from above,
We don’t believe in hatred,
In fact,
We don’t believe in pain, but
Prayer seems to always make bad things change,
We always had hope for a better day,
We always had dreams of leaving our plantation, and
Going far far away, and
Now,
We can say,
Free at last,
No more hurt, and
Pain,
From the past.
