Poem



Free Like a Waving Flag

She was born into slavery

Her accomplishments were of bravery

It’s her people she is try to lift

With her unique and rare gift

She suffered emotionally and physically

Yet she managed the brutality

She patiently waited for that Faithful day

But seem so far away

She looks into the mirror and sees her reflection

Its kills her inside like a dangerous infection

She prays and asks for a divine power; if only she can change her color

But we all know that’s impossible

She fought like a lioness and bravery was her accomplishment

They told her “Your kind don’t have rights”

She went back to God asked why?

God told her accept no defeat

So she learned to be loyal

And soon they will declare her royal

Her fight was only for her freedom

From this country that offered equality

She showed her people the way

With her amazing speech here in Ohio

Believing that slaves and women had rights

She fought like a lioness and bravery was her accomplishment

She passed away free like a waving flag

And if you forgot about her look through pages of history better yet Google search her …and her name

  1. Good poem. She did seem brave enough to fight for freedom and equality. You also explained her faith in God, her brutal experiences with slavery, and her belief in equality quite well.
