The Human Race CoverupA Poem by TTBoy28The fullness of my heart is too much for God to bear as I wonder who really penned the phrase "The Truth Shall Set You Free" This is more of a plea for all to change your heart I want to change even when I was not a part of their cause I want to change I want to change someone's belief that we are all not created equal and that light bright and damn near white is really right for a select few In spite of my privilge I wanted to know the truth I wanted to dispell the truth of a history coverup and that in the life of one type of somebody lemonade can be made with lemons and that the house was no more special than the field Who betrayed the human race? Who gave up on the world the day Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to one of my relatives? A dark-skinned, single pregnant woman did not stand a chance against the establishment So they pushed her back Then like a Lawrence Welk orchestration came a milky complexion who was viewed as different and non-typical becoming their savior Claudette was Rosa's mother She carried her for nine months forgotten that she delivered one that could pass Praised by an organization known for taking a stand Rosa was used ultimately convincing herself that she was the Mother of the Montgomery Bus Boycott due to her being seen then as a supermodel so fair and truly with no care for she could have stayed on that path but wanted more and spoke out Welcomed with wide open arms and conditioned to play the role as martyr Someone got into their skin Brainwashed was a culture that believed that the color of their skin did matter and poor was the woman who scrubbed floors to be able to purchase Pond's Bleaching Cream so that she could become a vital part of life And their children today believe more in Rosa as many parks have been named after her Brainwashed by an organization who refuses to acknowledge that darkness truly started a movement and still does Darkness falls everyday prey to its leaders in their quest for righteousness and judgment proving the benefits of working in the house rather than on it Still fighting for constitutional rights
