[Vision2020] Democracy

[Tom Hansen]


Democracy

by Langston Hughes

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.
