In the 1950’s we’re not equal

Things were not fair

People of a certain race

Did not dare

Maids served the upper class

then went home

Prayed, and went to mass

To make a difference

There will have to be a risk

So Miss Skeeter wrote a book

That just might fix

Poor Miss Skeeter

Pushed down and abandoned

Never once she thought

That this would have happened

When offered her dream job

Miles and miles away

Miss Skeeter will have to say

“I am going to New York”

In my opinion

What the author is trying to say is

All people have value

Black or Blue
