African American Poetry: A Digital Anthology

Poem: For the portrait of an African boy after the manner of Gauguin by Langston Hughes

All the tom-toms of the jungles beat in my blood,
And all the wild hot moons of the jungles shine in my soul.
I am afraid of this civilization--
   So hard,
      So strong,
         So cold.
