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!
Langston HughesThese feet have walked ten thousand miles working for white folks and another ten thousand keeping up with colored.
Langston HughesBecause my mouth Is wide with laughter And my throat Is deep with song, You do not think I suffer after I have held my pain So long? Because my mouth Is wide with laughter You do not hear My inner cry? Because my feet Are gay with dancing You do not know I die?
Langston HughesEverybody should take each other as they are, white, black, Indians, Creole. Then there would be no prejudice, nations would get along.
