My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Elaborate on the central idea about social classes that Countee Cullen depicts in his poem "For a Lady I Know." Provide textual evidence for your answer.
Answer:
In his poem "For a Lady I Know," Countee Cullen depicts the clash between the upper and lower classes of society. The poem is assumed to be about upper-class white Americans who treat African Americans poorly. He points out the audacity of the upper class to presume that African Americans would continue to wait on them forever, even after death:
She even thinks that up in heaven
Her class lies late and snores
While poor black cherubs rise at seven
To do celestial chores.
