Langston Hughes Quotes

My Old Man's A White Old Man
And My Old Mother's Black.
If Ever I Cursed My White Old Man
I Take My Curses Back.
If Ever I Cursed My Black Old Mother
And Wished She Were In Hell,
I'm Sorry For That Evil Wish
And Now I Wish Her Well
My Old Man Died In A Fine Big House
My Ma Died In A Shack.
I Wonder Were I'm Going To Die,
Being Neither White Nor Black?
