BLACK HISTORY POEM PROJECT

TEARS FOR OUR CHILDREN



Crying for them all
Especially for the
Children
Crying for things we
Lost in the fires of the
Struggle for humanity
Crying for the four
Little girls slain in the
Birmingham church
Bombing crying
For emmitt till
Brutally slain in Mississippi
On the early
Battlefield  of civil rights
Ruby bridges the little
Rock nine they were the sacrificial
Lambs our children marching
Dying for the cause
Crying tears for all our children
Done away with by those
Who saw fit to hit
Us where it hurts most
In our future generations
