Faces of America

(Inspired by the work of Langston Hughes)

by Paul Cech / March 31st, 2019

I like the faces of America
Human hues demonstrate
That there is grace in a face

I like the voices of America
Local
Regional
Global

I like the idea of America
Liberty and justice for all
For all are equal

I like the promise of America
And all that it could be

Mr. Hughes
I concur
It needs to be
