Poem of the Day: Freedom [3] by Langston Hughes
Freedom [3]
by Langston HughesSome folks think
By burning churches
They burn
Freedom.
Some folks think
By imprisoning me
They imprison
Freedom.
Some folks think
By killing a man
They kill
Freedom.
But Freedom
Stands up and laughs
In their faces
And says,
No —
Not so!
No!
As an added bonus here’s a short clip of the great Nina Simone discussing the meaning of freedom to her (h/t Son of Baldwin)
