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 own feet
And own the land.

I tire so of hearing people say,
Let things take there course.
Tomorrow is another day.
I don't 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
