I think that Langston Hughes needs a bit more credit for poems like these. I am using it for an essay on the Harlem Renaissance. He painted an incredibly colorful picture of emotions at funerals.
I've recently been through loss, and to find this poem was amazing. I felt so much better to know that someone else felt the way I did when I went through the whole funeral process. Thank you to all those who appreciate this poem and have made it possible to dry the tears of raw emotion.

I think this poem was excellent, especially coming from an African American that I admire so much.
