In the poem "Ballad Of Birmingham" by Dudley Randall a young girl begs her mother to allow her to attend a freedom march in downtown Birmingham. She does this by saying in stanza 1 lines (1-4)" Mother dear, may I go downtown / instead of out to play, / and march the streets of Birmingham / In a freedom march today.This wonderful poem is made up 9 short stanzas. I loved the way Randall uses line breaks throughout this poem it gives me a better understanding of what is being said.
In my opinion to me this poem meant a mother will always think about their child's safety before anything. No matter the situation.
