I read this poem today in my one of my lit classes. I dare someone to tell me it doesn’t hit hard.
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
And own the land.
I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take their course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I do not need my freedom when I’m dead.
I cannot live on tomorrow’s bread.
Freedom
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want freedom
Just as you.
– Langston Hughes
Voting is necessary!
