The man who opened up opportunities
Snapping grudges and forming unities
Breaking what was once called a stone wall
They thought he was going to be the rainfall
Wounds of fans gushing out pure hatred
The only vision they saw of him was a deathbed
At first they thought of him as an infection
In the end they knew him as
Jackie Robinson

Since Black History Month was just last month, I made this piece in honor of the African-American baseball player, Jackie Robinson.
