In the poem "we real cool" by gwendolyn brooks

who are the speakers of the poem?

In the poem "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks, the speakers are young men who shoot pool at the Golden Shovel. The speakers are believed to be African-American since the author herself is an African-American woman. But the poem could, in fact, refer to any group of youngsters who have chosen (or been forced) to drop out of school and live a bit too intensely. The poem is as follows:

THE POOL PLAYERS.

SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.

We real cool. We  

Left school. We

Lurk late. We

Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We  

Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We  

Die soon.
