Listen! All you beauty-makers, Give up beauty for a moment. Look at harshness, look at pain, Look at life again. Look at hungry babies crying, Listen to rich men lying, Look at China dying, Hear the rumble in the East: “In spite of all, Life must not cease.” In India with folded arms, In China with the guns, In Africa with the bitter smile – See where the murmur runs: “Life must not cease, Because the fat and greedy ones Proclaim their thieving peace.” Their peace far worse than war and death – For this is better than living breath: Free! To be Free!Listen! Futile beauty-makers – Work for awhile with the pattern-breakers! Come for a march with the new-world makers: Let beauty be!
Langston Hughes
Listen! Futile beauty-makers – Work for awhile with the pattern-breakers! Come march with the new-world makers: Let beauty be!
What’s up family and new world makers, hope all is well and and that we all – Let Beauty Be!
Peace, Tenthltr2u
