This is a poem i wrote for my English II class and i wanted to share it. Enjoy!

P.S. i got an A+ on it... :)


A Part of the Struggle

An innocent man denied in rights

He sits and struggles and tries to fight.

The law is against him and so is the town

The white man wanted to beat him down.

The Negros stand up for their brother

They don't go against one another.

In troubled waters, convicted by man

He felt God had a plan.

He is "the darker brother" with a "dream deferred"

His name is Tom Robinson and his voice will be heard.
