The Bluestone Review

Why were these walls made? Are they afraid of what we can do? Why can’t we make peace? Can’t we fix our society? I feel so alone with these divides, Can’t we change these rules, These walls? Why must we be separated by These walls?

True Flier Dawson Beasley

First African women to fly First Native women to fly Six feet from her memory unrecognized till then Even though she will live on forever Activist for her rights Equality for all Breaking barriers And overcoming achievements Pursuing her dreams

With hardwork and grit Bringing back equality Doing tricks across the sky

Leaving her trace Being of no color Was the only way But Bessie Coleman She broke that chain

Equality for all Soon one day.
