Growing up in America, his life was surrounded by pure racism. In expression to his life, he wrote poetry. If only life could have been different for him and the many lives that lived with prejudicm. Blacks became slaves in America, dating back in to the early 1600's. That is a long time of bondage. If only it were different then and only if it were different still today...oh' what a world this would be!
I Dream A World
By: Langston Hughes
I dream a world where man
no other man will scorn,
where love will bless the earth
and peace its path adorn
I dream a world where all
will know sweet freedom's way
Where greed no longer saps the soul
nor avarice blights the day.
A world I dream where black and white,
whatever race you be,
Will share the bounties of the earth
and every man is free,
Where wretchedness will hang its head
and joy, like a pearl,
Attends the needs of all mankind-
of such I dream, my world!
