Poem #2: "Children's Rhymes" by Langston Hughes

In the poem "Children's Rhymes", I feel Langston Hughes is trying to show how angry he is with the fact that black men are truly not equal to whites. He questions the idea of liberty and justice for all saying, "we know everybody ain't free." This poem is really a push for more equal rights for blacks, as were many poems that Langston Hughes wrote.
