Within this poem it is obvious through the images described and through the phrases and words, that the speaker cares about the lives of African Americans in this country. "The closed window look down.., " " And we labor to make our getaway, into the ancient image, into a new correspondence with ourselves and our black family." The speaker gives way a tone of understanding, sincerity, and protectiveness.
It seems as if they are trapped in a cold, dark, place when they really should be in better and glorious place more deserving to them. America is basically a prison African American were confined to.
The final idea or theme in the poem is of freedom. Baraka is certain that Black's want to escape. "We read magic now we need the spells, to rise up, return, destroy, and create." You cannot understand the intention of the speaker from the poem but you can tell how he feels.
