After a hard day of sewing, And shrugging off aching bursitis, Rosa Parks clutched her ticket And claimed an empty seat In the middle of a Montgomery bus Rosa knew two things the Driver 's brain could not process When he ordered her to the back: Her seat was hers by purchase And she owned an unalienable right to it. With courage as strong as her rights, Rosa calmly declined to budge. The officers who came to arrest her Could never have dreamed They were unleashing the storms of change. Boycotts, trials, freedom riders followed That re-opened the flood gates of freedom. Pastor King called her the hero she was - This work-weary seamstress Who knew precisely where she belonged.

ROSA MCCAULEY PARKS
I Ride the Bus The Omnibus The Bus of Dreams The Bus of Travel It Goes From Point A to Point B You can't ride the bus without walking Walking along in a Martial Stride Clicking in my pocket an Altoids tin Full of the tools of Life Fire Cutting Key These are the things a man needs to survive in modern life Fire- The fire outside like the one within Cutting- The tool to set things free from ******* Key- The entrance to a man's place of shelter Carrying along my wheely case Full of the tools of knowledge Books Tablet Computer Paper These are the things a man needs to learn better of himself Books- The knowledge of humanity available at a glance Tablet Computer- The ability to converse with the world entire Paper- Ancient and Modern commodity of learning Every weekday I Travel to the Bus Stop, Travel on the Bus To my place of learning And the bus is not only moving my body, but also my eager mind And so, as I sit in the seat which has been sat upon a thousand times by a thousand butts, I think... "At least I don't have to worry about parking?"

Riding the Bus
#*They are the fierce writers They ride on horses and write past you They have rode on this earth before And wrote with reed on various seeds Armed with fine parchment and accoutrements Meadows and the cemeteries Their favourite haunts*#

Fierce riders
the bull riders came from near and far to try and conquer Chainsaw's elevated bar he'd buck them off afore the eight second crack none would last upon his awesomely built back around the rodeo circuit this bull had a legendary status for beating they who'd do battle with his feisty apparatus the goading spur of rider not disconcerting him he'd show them that he was ever potent in trim of an immortal bovine we'll never see again so celebrate the elan of Chainsaw's grain

Chainsaw
An old angelic poet went flying one drab and tempestuous night. Upon the clouds he rested as the fallen angels were in his sight. Whence all angel's were together Serving their mighty God. Now separated by good and evil By free will the hellion hadst lost. Their spaceships were ablazed And their crown's they wore as king's. Their wing's we're ivory crystalline And their thunderous aura like electricity didst ring... A trace of cherub dust they left behind in the sky Telepathically knowing, today their wing's shalt fly... Chorus- Chariot's roll Chariot's play Seraphim riders, in the sky....... Their countenance unearhtly, their eye's lit Their batas all drenched by unseen blood. Their flying hard to get those hellion But they've lost one of their ship's. Because it's their duty, to protect the all powerful God They sweep by force in by million's, with lightning bolts as Rod's. As the chariot Master's swept by the ghouls The ghoulies calleth out their names, The serpahim said to the ghoulies Go back to hell from whence thou came. And hellion its to late to changeth thy ways, thou made a bad choice..... So the Hellion's retreated, back to their doom of fiery noise.... Chorus- Chariot's roll Chariot's play Seraphim rider's in the sky, Serpahim rider's in the sky Serpahim rider's in the sky......
