In Po' Boys Blues Langston Huges shows his desire to move north to enjoy
the freedoms that in particular moment in America was the only place a
Negro could be free. He sees the hope and oportunities he can achive in New
York City. Once he is there things are not exactly as he had anticipated.
He does not understand the reasons why things are so hard when he has been
a good human being and never done no wrong.The fact of being black gay male
makes society reject him.
He ponders about his dream of moving to New York city as the "a gal that
was kind" once he reached NYC he lost all hope and confronted by reality of
what is in store in the world of a gay black male.
He worries every day about who he is and the fact that he can not change
who he is or how he looks thats why he wishes of never been born.

Mr Hughes is clearly influenced by elements of the blues which is shown
through the structure in terms of the repeats (AAB pattern)as well as the
themes.This allows for a more accurate portrayal of the feelings of Negro's
in that period. This point is further supported as Hughes assumes the
character of the young boy and uses the blues to develop a way of
authenticating the typicalexperiences of a young black boy at the time.

The way Langston Hughes is able to portra the fallicies of a Black man in a
white society give me chills. The tribulations the African Americans faced
was a daily occurence. Hughes does not attack this society but rather
conveys the corruption of American society.

the poem is about a poor boy who loved his home and after he came up north
his world turned cold he fell in love with a woman who left him poor, he is
so sad he wishes he was never born.
