The Bluestone Review

I’ll Get It Done Judah Viars

Segregation is a problem. I’ll live to see it done. No blacks allowed. Won’t stop me. I’ll get it done. The color of my skin shouldn’t matter.

No matter what, I’ll get it done. Things can change. I’ll get it done. Baseball is my life. Anything to get it done.. Watch me climb, I’ll get it done

They said I couldn’t play. I laughed and instead said, I’ll get it done. I played for the Kansas City Monarchs. I’ll get it done. The Dodgers called. I answered. I said I’d get it done. I stepped up to the plate. I’ll get it done. The pitch came fast. I’ll get it done. I heard the crack of the bat. I’ll get it done. I rounded the diamond and stepped on home. I’ll get it done. My name is Jackie Robinson. And I got it done.
