Democracy
by: Langston Hughes
Read by: Giovanni Presutti
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 two feet
And own the land.
I tire 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.
Feedom is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.
I live here, too.
I want freedom
Just as you.
