    LOST POEM
    OF LANGSTON HUGHES


    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 where I'm going to die,
    Being neither white nor black?

    also a quote that i like:

    "Diversity is the key to life, without it we would be a mindless drone of a single colored spectrum."
