I Too Sing America

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
they send me to eat in the kitchen
when company comes,
but i laugh,
and eat well,
and grow strong.

tomorrow,
i'll be at the table
when company comes.
nobody'll dare
say to me,
"eat in the kitchen"
then.

besides,
they'll see how beautiful i am
and be ashamed--

i, too, am america

by, Langston Hughes

this is a good poem, about segregation of blacks, even though it is all in metaphor.

Pressure

The eyes of hate stare down upon you
Prices of pain release the marks upon you
The paper of hope is torn in half
Racism, racism, all it does is laugh
Life is all an informal b*tch
Laying you down in a big, dark ditch
Fighting, fighting, all worlds collide
All you can do is sit there and smile

Joey Nissen

i just found this one on the internet the other day, and i've never heard of this person, but it is definately about segregation.

Hi Jenna. I can't believe this but I wrote this poem for a student on here yesterday for a school project then just today another student requested a poem with the same theme. And now for you...I am posting this same original poem for your project. Hope this helps! It is an Acrostic for the word segregation.

Segregation started some years after slavery.
Every colored man exhibited extreme bravery.
Granting of freedoms was gifted to whites alone.
Racial slurs rained upon every colored home.
Even most every elected shared in this hate.
Grieving mothers greatly mourned their son's fate.
Arise I cried, Arise my brothers, Now Arise!
Time to march and time to fight before another dies!
In the churches and in streets we stood for our right.
Our voices were heard by our courage and might.
Never again, never again, never again.
