Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken;
doing more harm here than slander and lies;
on it is many a strong spirit broken,
and with it many a good purpose dies.
it springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
and robs us of courage we need through the day:
it rings in our ears like a timely sent warning
and laughs when we falter and fall by the way.
can’t is the father of feeble endeavor,
the parent of terror and halfhearted work;
it weakens the efforts of artisans clever,
and makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.
it poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
it stifles in infancy many a plan;
it greets honest toiling with open derision
and mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.
what is the theme of can't by edgar guest and a example of it

escape oppression and poverty. dave is struggling to declare his identity with the occurence of  

the rural south in his place. throughout the  

story

dave is very irritated because of the way he is  

being treated by whites and how he basically has no freedom. his search for adulthood is exactly

how most african-americans felt and acted during that time. dave also gets so fed up that he  

wants to actually fight back which is how all the other african-americans felt too. desperation is

a major theme in the story as dave is desperate to experience his adulthood, and african-

americans are desperate to escape poverty.
