os poemas de langston hughes aqui ditos

Cross

My old man’s a white old man

And my old mother’s black.

If ever I cursed my white old man

I take my curses back.

If ever I cursed my black old mother

And wished she were in hell,

I’m sorry for that evil wish

And now I wish her well.

My old man died in a fine big house.

My ma died in a shack.

I wonder where I’m gonna die,

Being neither white nor black?

……………

Me and the Mule

My old mule,

He’s gota grin on his face.

He’s been a mule so long

He’s forgotten about his race.

I’m like that old mule —

Black —and don’t give a damn!

You got to take me

Like I am.

“quase”
