=__Perseverance__= By Matheus Lima =__A Dream Deferred__= =//by Langston Hughes//= What happens to a dream deferred ? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun ? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like @rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?

Analysis Langston Hughes Higher Purpose. =__I Too Sing America__= =//by Langston Hughes//=

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.

Tomorrow, I'll be at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then.

Besides, They'll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed--

I, too, am America.

=To a Freedom Fighter= =//by Maya Angelou//= You drink a bitter draught. I sip the tears your eyes fight to hold A cup of lees, of henbane steeped in chaff. Your breast is hot, Your anger black and cold , Through evening's rest, you dream  I hear the moans, you die a thousands' death. When can straps flog the body  dark and lean, you feel the blow, I hear it in your breath.
