Hughes And The Blues Poem by Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

Hughes And The Blues



Oh, Hughes, Langston Hughes
Your BLUES inspired your race
To wake up and win the race
To keep on to Freedom and trace
Every corner in the space
The BLUES traveled over mountains,
Valleys and crossed the oceans
To all human nations
Heard over Mississippi and the Boston Bay.
Then all free men and women learned to believe and say
That we are born free
And endowed with the right to life
The freedom of where to live and strive
As man or woman, as husband and wife
And have the right to dream of the light of the day
The light that came from New Orleans
To the Bronx and Harlem, to New York City, too
Your songs brought your race, their identity
Your songs will live in eternity
To let them taste the sweet taste of freedom
With full human dignity
