he Star-Spangled Banner proudly flies above their heads.
Perversely smiling, up from the buildings they observe.
Dictating us, the only way to behave is to kneel down.
Over us, all they firmly intend to reign.

Widespread poverty...Misery is proliferating like weeds,
There, right before their eyes,
The fruits of their toil and mass profits.

("We Wear the Mask" is a lyric poem about oppressed black
Americans,forced to hide their pain and frustration
behind a façade of happiness and contentment)

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
