I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

jmrreposar — 2024-12-06 02:17:40 UTC

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.

jmrreposar — 2024-12-06 02:18:05 UTC

Tomorrow,

I’ll be at the table

When company comes.

jmrreposar — 2024-12-06 02:18:22 UTC

Nobody’ll dare

Say to me,

“Eat in the kitchen,”

Then.

Besides,

They’ll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed—

jmrreposar — 2024-12-06 02:19:06 UTC

I, too, am America.
