Best Poem of Langston Hughes
Dreams
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
Democracy
Democracy will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.
I have as much right
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
I can remember the first time I heard one of his poems. It was as if the voice within me was read aloud. In the Harlem renaissance of the 1920s black and proud. I see you I see me, A reflection of what I may be. Genius is as genius does, I once heard your genius born out in word. I wonder do you know the impact you have the lives you touch. You give expression to our innermost feelings in a way that we recognize them true. Mr. Langston Hughes genius is you. By Andrew
he should still be around so more people would know him
This poet really fought against the stereotypical aspects of social stigma....He is a legendary via poetry Activist.I appreciate his work...
Why can't I find Langston Hughes' short but very powerful poem titled End? Could you possibly include it? Thank you very much.
