This is borderline trash. Good Poem? Hardly. While the poem is rich in
passion is grossly misrepresents America and as a poet myself I find this
sort of 'anger driven' wordage pure fluff. So Langston Hughes doesn't like
America...he can leave. It's not positive, it reeks of malice and the
amount of support shown on this site proves that ignorance does abound.
Slap a poem title on something Hughes wrote and you suddenly see the rise
in ass kissing...

this poem is so deep i actually read it five times. i mean this poem is
just like america is today. it's a crazy world right now and this coming
from a sixteen year old. i really love this poem. i mean this poem is so
deep that words can't even describe how it makes me feel inside and out.

this poem is absolutely touching and so deep. when i read this poem over
the summer i fell in love with it instantely. its just beautiful and
Langston Hughes did an emaculate job on letting everybody know that life
wasnt easy for blacks and im proud of my heritage even more.

This is the most riveting poem my eyes have ever read. The eloquence and
emotion between each word gives me chills, in particular because of my
African-American background. This is a man who took history and understood
it in a way that many refuse to even brainstorm about. One must admire a
being that has the mental capacity to evaluate all effects on racial life,
not just his own.

This poem really touched me....me.. a 12 year old girl. the world really
is full of Sh*t and the greedy people who steal & snatch. we can never heal
the scars of hate. yet we can work to make them heal & fade lighter.

i read about this poem in the washington post, in an article regarding the
peace movement that has been gaining momentum in d.c. recently.
specifically the lines "let america be america again, let it be the dream
it used to be"
i like this poem, a lot.
it just...speaks, i guess.

america will never be america again. america is the land of the natives
from whom everything was brutally snatched, and they can never come back
nor live the way they did. the modern america is full of materialists and
sh!t.

Wow !
How deep it is. It shows that no matter who you are you are still in
chains....We havent learned our lessons only avoided them. We yearn for
our freedom but rarely realize it. We take it for granted only to see that
all along our oignorance has only put us iin chains. WOW!
