Explore "Liars" by Langston Hughes on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It is we who are liars:
The Pretenders-to-be who are not / And the Pretenders-not-to-be who are.
It is we who use words / As screens for thoughts / And weave dark garments / To cover the naked body / Of the too white Truth.
It is we with the civilized souls / Who are liars.
