Langston Hughes - My old man's a white old manAnd my old mother's...

My old man's a white old manAnd my old mother's black. If ever I cursed my white old manI take my curses back. If ever I cursed my black old motherAnd wished she were in hell,I'm sorry for that evil wishAnd now i wish her wellMy old man died in a fine big houseMy Ma died in a shack.I wonder were i'm going to die, Being neither white nor black?
