The Negro Speaks
Still Here
I been scared and battered.
My hopes the wind done scattered.
Snow has friz me,
Sun has baked me,
Looks like between 'em they done
Tried to make me
Stop laughin', stop lovin', stop livin'--
But I don't care!
I'm still here!
-Langston Hughes -
no time to write must slave away for many hours on things that don't even matter, but I found this and it tickled my fancy.
