I look at the world
From awakening eyes in a black face—
And this is what I see:
This fenced-off narrow space
Assigned to me.
I look then at the silly walls
Through dark eyes in a dark face—
And this is what I know:
That all these walls oppression builds
Will have to go!
I look at my own body
With eyes no longer blind—
And I see that my own hands can make
The world that's in my mind.
Then let us hurry, comrades,
The road to find.
After taking a better look at one’s self, it is possible to know both the limits and the real possibility of dreams and aspirations. The speaker has now taken a good look at the world around him/her as well as his self/her self, and envisions a world that is free of oppressive walls. The speaker, with newfound freedom, is taking the previous call to action and has decided to try and make a change for equality. This is similar to the acts of the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, Washington Marches, and other social justice movements that have occurred throughout time.
