Gwendolyn Brooks:Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward


Say to them, say to the down-keepers,the sun-slappers,the self-soilers,the harmony-hushers,"even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night."You will be right.For that is the hard home-run.Live not for battles won.Live not for the-end-of-the-song.Live in the along.



Analysis:
This poem is directed towards people who have little hope. It encourages them to have more hope. The poem is saying that though they may not be ready the time for change is now. It is also saying that you should not dwell on the past but live in the now.
