ARMAGEDDON by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: IN THE SILENCE AND THE DARK
Last Line: EVEN NOW THE DAWN APPEARS!
Subject(s): AFRICAN AMERICANS; AFRICAN AMERICANS - WOMEN; NEGROES; AMERICAN BLACKS;
In the silence and the dark
I fought with dragons;
I was battered, beaten sore
But rose again;
On my knees I fought still rising
In my pain:
In the dark I fought with dragons.
Weary tears
Cease your flowing,
Even now the dawn appears!
