I really enjoyed this poem because it was one of the few I read this semester that made any sence. Langston Hughes poem is about a guys dream of what he wants America to be and his opinion on how America is right now. Some people believe that in America anything is possible and their dreams always come true but sometimes that does not always happen. I believe that is one of the messeges Langston Hughes is trying to say in his poem. For example in the poem he says " Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed". In the poem he also says "All the songs we've sung, And all the hopes we've held, And all the flags we've hung, the millions who have nothing for our pay except the dream that's almost dead today". All the wars and things that America has been through and still to this day not every person is equal. There is still plenty of crimes and racism in America no matter what we do to try to fix it. I agree completely with the poem and believe that America still has alot of things to fix.
