The Recent Fall of the Titans:

Vaclav Havel (1936-2011) : Truth and love must prevail over lies and hate.

Kim Jong Il (1941-2011): The people are my god.

The perception of how close they stick to their motto is as polarized as their background, belief, as well as political and social participation.

While there is hardly any surprise about this, may they RIP. It's a natural right everyone should enjoy, regardless of how much he has defended or violated others.

I, Too, Sing America
by Langston Hughes

They send me to eat in the kitchen

When company comes,

But I laugh,

And eat well,

And grow strong.Tomorrow,

I'll be at the table

When company comes.

Nobody'll dare

Say to me,

"Eat in the kitchen,"

Then.Besides,They'll see how beautiful I am

And be ashamed--I, too, am America.

Saturday’s Child
By Countee Cullen

Some are teethed on a silver spoon,
With the stars strung for a rattle;
I cut my teeth as the black raccoon—
For implements of battle.

Some are swaddled in silk and down,
And heralded by a star;
They swathed my limbs in a sackcloth gown
On a night that was black as tar.

For some, godfather and goddame
The opulent fairies be;
Dame Poverty gave me my name,
And Pain godfathered me.

For I was born on Saturday—
“Bad time for planting a seed,”
Was all my father had to say,
And, “One mouth more to feed.”

Death cut the strings that gave me life,
And handed me to Sorrow,
The only kind of middle wife
My folks could beg or borrow.
