Classic Poem

God made each man with something great —
The thing is to be found in you;
Please search and find the stuff remote,
And pine no more on awful fate.

The genius of mind is there,
It's hidden, yes, for each to find;
Dive down, my man, and find yourself,
And in the good of life do share.

The Negro has an equal chance
To make a world to suit himself;
Go then and work your mental plan,
Your life and fortune to enhance.
