Good morning, Revolution: You're the very best friend I ever had. We gonna pal around together from now on

Good morning, daddy! Ain't you heard The boogie-woogie rumble Of a dream deferred? • • • • You think It's a happy beat?

I've been scared and battered. My hopes the wind done scattered. Snow has friz me, Sun has baked me, Looks like between 'em they done Tried to make me Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'-- But I don't care! I'm still here!

Yet the ivory gods, And the ebony gods, And the gods of diamond-jade, Are only silly puppet gods That people themselves Have made.-

Road's in front o' me, Nothin' to do but walk.

Life is a big sea full of many fish. I let down my nets and pulled. I'm still pulling.

Books -where if people suffered, they suffered in beautiful language, not in monosyllables, as we did in Kansas
