Democracy by Langston Hughes
Democracy will not comeToday, this yearNor everThrough compromise and fear.
I have as much right As the other fellow hasTo standOn 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.
FreedomIs a strong seedPlantedIn a great need.
I live here, too.I want freedomJust as you.
