Women Have a Dream

  ROSA PARKS

A woman takes a seat inside a bus —

And she’s arrested for that black stain crime.

She lives where “colored” people cause a fuss

TYE LEUNG SCHULZE

If they take actions towards a noble time

When everyone can vote — and not just men —

When even black men have the right to make

Their mark upon a ballot . . . and then when

White women and black women have a stake

Inside the dream America has dreamed.

Millennia went past when only rich

And Strong Men, lords, the richest could be deemed

To have the right to pull on power’s switch.

  The women of the world have fought this fact.

    They show that changes come when women act.
