Children's Rhymes


By what sends
the white kids
I ain't sent:
I know I can't
be President.


What don't bug
them white kids
sure bugs me:
We know everybody
ain't free.


Lies written down
for white folks
ain't for us a-tall:
Liberty And Justice--
Huh!--For All?

Written by Langston Hughes (1902-1967)
