Langston Hughes: Cross         My old man's a white old man  And my old mother's black.  If ever I cursed my white old man  I take my curses back.  If ever I cursed my black old mother  And wished she were in hell,  I'm sorry for that evil wish  And now I wish her well  My old man died in a fine big house.  My ma died in a shack.  I wonder were I'm going to die,  Being neither white nor black? Vintage, Famous People, American Author, African American Authors, Handsome
