| ``Democracy will not come today, this year, | |
| nor ever through compromise and fear. | |
| I have as much right as the other fellow has | |
| to stand on my two feet and own the land. | |
| I tire so of hearing people say | |
| let things take their course, | |
| tomorrow is another day. | |
| I do not need my freedom when I'm dead. | |
| I cannot live on tomorrow's bread. | |
| Freedom is a strong seed | |
| planted in a great need. | |
| I live here, too. | |
| I want freedom just as you.'' | |
| ``The Weary Blues'', Langston Hughes |
