Langston Hughes: Let America Be America Again

"O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

(There's never been equality for me,
Nor freedom in this "homeland of the free.")" 

--Langston Hughes

Well Langston Hughes touched on the thought that America, isn't the america that has been advertised "false patriotic wreath". How America is advertised as "the land of libertyy" but "There's never been equality for me" back in the early 20th century. How the same people who came over for freedom enslaved Africans. Because in America I know FOSHOO that blacks were in the senate, and in presidential elections in the early 20th century. I mean equality was promised too right? But no the strong is able to over power the weak and the weak sits at the bottom with no one to speak, for them and the situation of "dog eats dog" repeats. right? See this is what Mr. Hughes preached in his, "Let America Be America Again" speech.

"I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
Tangled in that ancient endless chain
Of profit, power, gain, of grab the land!
Of grab the gold! Of grab the ways of satisfying need!
Of work the men! Of take the pay!
Of owning everything for one's own greed!"

Im sure this passage is pretty much self explanatory saying how the greed in America is so strong that they don't care about the people and the men's well being as long as they're getting more wealth than they actually need.
And this my friend, is THEE truth. Amen.
