The Rhetoric of Langston Hughes

While some "rap" over this turmoil
of who was Blackest first
and the ins and outs of the Spirituals
and the Blues
and how many of us have or have not
paid our dues;

Langston Hughes (in his traveling)
has sung to so many for so long
and from so very Black a Power
that we have clearly seen the "angels"
and dedicated ourselves
to the unraveling.
