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.

We have a Poetry thread? Cool. Problem is, mine are deep and dark and personal. Don't know if I should post. ;D

Love is a lie
Love is a joke
It lasts 20 minutes
Then he has a smoke.
HEE HEE........I wrote that in 11th grade or something

Silence grips the earth
as clouds begin to mass
Will the sky give birth
or will it only pass?
Everything has stopped
in strange anticipation
of the first rain dropped
elation or frustration?
Does it matter at all
to humans in their cages?
Surrounded by a wall
while the thunder rages
How nice it would be
to just go out and stand
until it all breaks free
and saturates the land

Love found, love lost
not sure it was worth the cost.
You blinded me with silly games.
Your endless lines were really lame.
Such a fool did I become.
You lost me now, I have won.

My mind races in dessolation.
Full of thoughtless illusions.
What is life really about?
My mind is overwhelmed with doubt.
Bid your heart free and live.
Be careful what you give.
I am a lost soul in an empty world.
Just a lost and lonely girl.

Time is of essence or so I'm told.
Take hold and be brave and bold.
Let yourself free from what disarms you.
Do the things that you must do.
Don't be a fool for it costs in the end.
TAKE A hold of your life, my friend.

You took 6 months from me that were pure damn misery. You lied like there was no tomorrow. I hope you live in sorrow. For what you did to me and made me go through. I hope when I left, now you are blue. I will let God take care of your poor, miserable soul. Because God's wrath certainly takes it's toll. You thought I'd stay and live with your games. I'm sorry I met you, but I'm blessed all the same. You made me even stronger than I already was. And I hope you pizz off into the dust. That about sums it up.  |
