Question

Singing America Now

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Let's go with the second option: an "I, Too" poem mimicking Hughes' style. Our speaker is an immigrant.

I, too, sing America.

I am the one they ignore.

They send me to the kitchen

and I cook for them,

hear them laugh,

drink and eat.

I am the one who raises their children.

I know their names,

dreams,

fears.

But they don't ask me

about my own.

Some are there

who want me gone.

Some build walls

literally.

But I still come

and I still work

and I survive.

I, too, am America.
