I, Too
by: Langston Hughes
I, too, sing America
I, am the darker brother
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes
But I laugh
And eat well
And grow strong
Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me
Eat in the kitchen."
Then.
Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed-
I, too, am America
