Langston Hughes

by Chris Hickey

1.
I am white, Irish-Catholic, 27, 5'11", 157 schoolteacher, songwriter, singer and guitar player I'm a husband, father, brother and son and I am one of everyone and you are a part of me as I am a part of you and we are a part of Langston Hughes. I listen to Bob Dylan sing "To Ramona" and Billy Bragg to "Shirley" and REM to "AnnElise" I love their music People who listen to my songs hear part of them in me and what I've come to do is becoming part of you and we are a part of Langston Hughes Everything we do we are a witness to I see the way you live and I take it inside Every move is a rock that shatters a stagnant pool And it travels from me to you and beyond to Langston Hughes I've seen the look on another man's face who came from somewhere faraway He spoke with such humility that it keeps a certain peace in me Yes, I've seen another kind and I cannot chase it from my mind But I act in any way I choose knowing I am part of you and we are a part of Langston Hughes Sometimes I feel so free The littlest things amaze me and sometimes I get lost in confusion and I go searching aimlessly But I have my family and my friends to help me find the key And I have records to play and poems to read and bits of inspiration can be seen on every evening's news and there's always the "Theme for English B" written on a page by Langston Hughes Everything we do we are a witness to I see the way you live and I take it inside Every move is a rock that shatters a stagnant pool And it travels from me to you and beyond to Langston Hughes
