Explore "Success" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Here I sit with my belly full / And he who might have been my brother / Walks hungry in the rain.
Here I sit with my belly full / And she I might have loved / Seeks someone in the shadows / To whom she may sell her body.
Here I sit with my belly full, / No longer the rain, / No longer the shadows for the / Woman I love, / No longer hunger.
Success is a great big beefsteak / With onions on it, / And I eat.
