Freedom's Plow

"Freedom's Plow"
-Langston Hughes

Great poem.  I stumbled across it about a week ago in my (highly) edited Hughes collection, and if it didn't violate fair use standards, I'd post it all here--it's really speaking to me.  Here's a particularly apt quote for contemporary times:  

Thus the dream became not one man's dream alone,
But a community dream.
Not my dream alone, but our dream.
Not my world alone,
But your world and my world,
Belong to all the hands who build.
47 days to go.
