In Langston Hughes' poem "Democracy," the line "I cannot live on tomorrow's bread" suggests a rejection of the idea of waiting for future promises or hopes. It conveys a sense of urgency and a desire for immediate change or progress. The speaker is emphasizing the need for tangible and meaningful actions in the present, rather than relying on uncertain future outcomes.
