Sad and depressing: (

This poem is sad. 😔

this poem is really sad

so many kids die, their dreams are dashed by cruelty that some of us can never imagine, their hope and pure love that is born in each of us are crushed by life, before they are given a chance to grow, the dream slayer destroy them(Quo Vadi)

i created Tupac

who wants to join my gang

i killed Tupac

an interesting and sad poem about why children die? when we live in a so called civilised world full of plenty?

The old and rich done want the people to get wise to their own power. Thanks for sharing this reality through an eye opening powerful verse.

Monuments of love kids, right.

I know somewhat about the historic events in which college protesters lost their lives- -no, were murdered. But I have to make a little protest about this poem in that Langston blames the old and the rich time after time. The old are probably having trouble getting out of their chairs, paying for their meds, and fighting off senility, dementia, arthritis, loss of balance, etc. The rich? Maybe so, maybe not. There are many rich people who donate to charities that struggle with the ills of society. Maybe as many rich people as middle-class people care. This point the finger of blame poem didn't work for me - I think the roots of evil extend deeper into the human psyche than this poem indicates. Still like most of his poetry so don't throw rocks, please.

Except in our hearts! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
