Drink took to me, said Simple. Whiskey just naturally likes me but beer likes me better

Langston Hughes, a prominent figure in the Harlem Renaissance, was known for his powerful and evocative poetry that often explored themes of race, identity, and the struggles of African Americans in the early 20th century. One of his most famous poems, "Drink took to me, said Simple. Whiskey just naturally likes me but beer likes me better," captures the complexities of addiction and self-destruction in a way that is both poignant and thought-provoking.
