OPPRESSION

I am always touched by the poetry of Langston Hughes.
His images are strong, painted with the sure hand of an artist.

Oppression
- Langston Hughes

Now dreams
Are not available
To the dreamers,
Nor songs
To the singers.

In some lands
Dark night
And cold steel
Prevail
But the dream
Will come back,
And the song
Break
Its jail.
