I've linked to a website with a couple of his poems in the sources box!.Www@QuestionHome@Com "Three Songs About Lynching" (three parts titled, "Silhouette," Flight" and "Lynching Song"--the last part being perhaps the most immediate and socially pained poem I've ever read) and "I, Too, Sing America" by Langston Hughes!. * * * * * * * * * * I, Too, Sing America By Langston Hughes 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!. * * * * * * * * * * I would post "Three Songs About Lynching" but the language is perhaps a bit much for other readers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
