I am like a man so busy in letting rooms in one end of his house,
that he can't stop to put out the fire that is burning the other.
I cannot salute the flag;
I know that I am a black man in a white world.
In 1972, in 1947, at my birth in 1919,
I know that I never had it made.
The truth is you donโt know what is going to happen tomorrow.
Life is a crazy ride,
and nothing is guaranteed.
Everyone has in them a piece of good news.
The good news is that you don't know how great you can be!
You spend your whole lifetime in your occupation,
actually making life clever,
easy and convenient for white people.
But when you have to get transportation home,
you are denied an equal accommodation.
Our existence was for the white man's comfort and well being;
we had to accept being deprived of just being human.
