All Aboard the freedom Train
by Irene Latham
Come now passengers,
throw off your chains!
Take your place on the train
that runs underground.
Its wheels are people
who arrange secret stations,
its whistle blows,
freeeeeeeeeeee-dom.
Follow Harriet --
your conductor, your guide.
Brave hunger and darkness
to outsmart your captors.
With a runaway's speed
and a locomotive's power,
time now
to steam into your future.
