In the shadows of oppression’s night,
A voice arose, fierce and bright,
Speaking truths of human rights,
With courage, igniting the fight.

June Jordan, a beacon of light,
Her words cut through the silent fright,
Empowering the weak to take flight,
Claiming justice with all their might.

She penned the pain, the struggle, the plight,
Of those denied their rightful sight,
Her poetry a rallying cry,
For dignity, respect, and equal rights.

In every stanza, a call to unite,
To stand together, to fight the blight,
June’s legacy, a guiding light,
Forever shining in the pursuit of right.
