“They will let you have dope Because they are quite willing To drug you or kill you. They will let you have babies Because they are quite willing To pauperize you-- Or use your kids as labor boys For army, air force, or uranium mine. They will let you have alcohol To make you sodden and drunk And foolish. They will gleefully let you Kill your damn self any way you choose With liquor, drugs, or whatever.” — Langston Hughes
They will let you have dope
Because they are quite willing
To drug you or kill you.
They will let you have babies
Because they are quite willing
To pauperize you--
Or use your kids as labor boys
For army, air force, or uranium mine.
They will let you have alcohol
To make you sodden and drunk
And foolish.
They will gleefully let you
Kill your damn self any way you choose
With liquor, drugs, or whatever.
