Minstrel Man by Langston Hughes

blackisbeautiful:

Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter
And my throat
Is deep with song, 
You do not think 
I suffer after
I have held my pain
So long?

Because my mouth 
Is wide with laughter, 
You do not hear
My inner cry? 
Because my feet
Are gay with dancing, 
You do not know 
I die?

Me and my A.A.C. crew (Art as an Agent for Change- Do holla) messed around & made a series of “How to Become Famous” promos for our Poetic Notions event comin up on Saturday, April 18th.  It’s our 2nd annual poetry slam w/ talent to spare!  I’ll be hosting & it’ll be down at GCSU (Max Noah Hall) so come see about us, Middle Ga!  Can’t wait to bring this up to Atlanta.
