Here is a poem written by one of my favorite writers/poets, Langston Hughes. While going through some of his work - something I occasionally do from time to time - I came upon this short piece entitled, “Acceptance”. The poem is one that I find to be very sharp in its point, while delivering a message of humor alongside it. What makes it remarkable, much like a lot of Hughes’ work, is his ability to get that point across in so few words to illicit so many thoughts.
Acceptance
By: Langston Hughes
God in His infinite wisdom
Did not make me very wise-
So when my actions are stupid
They hardly take God by surprise
