Democracy by Langston Hughes
Democracy will not come
Today, this year
Nor ever
Through compromise and fear.

I have as much right 5
As the other fellow has
To stand
On my two feet
And own the land.

I tire so of hearing people say, 10
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 15
Is a strong seed
Planted
In a great need.

I live here, too.
I want freedom 20
Just as you.
