Tired by Langston Hughes

 
I am so tired of waiting,
Aren't you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two-
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

~ from Good Morning, Revolution: Uncollected Social Protest writings (Lawrence Hill & Co. 1974)
