Tiffanie Mccall Poem
Thugs in the street with their pants hung low
White T's and Tims with two golds in the front row
Philly fades or braids, du-rags, and fitted hats
Sweat towls around the neck
Baseball caps turned to the back
See some people would call them hoodrats
because of where they live at
Not knowing the situation
Seeing the problem
Or trying to give back
Instead they just judge the book by it's cover
Instead of calling the book your brother
See if we don't stick together
And if we don't love each other
And stop calling us women B's and Hoes
for we all know that's not the way love goes
So black people lets take a stand
Reach out and touch your brothers hand
Lets make this world an equal place
Because we've proved that we can

Tiffanie Mccall Poem
You told me you loved me
Yet even though it hurt me
You took it away
Now I am left alone while
You live without consequence

Tiffanie Mccall Poem
The instructor said:
Right a poem expressing yourself
using Langston Hughes’ first poem
as your model.
When my mom had me it was just me and her.
We went through hard times yet she never let our
problems effect me. Now that I have grown up
I see things differently. I can understand when there is
a problem and know when things aren’t right.
Now I’m just looking for my chance to shine. I am preparing
to see the world through my own eyes. And it is hard. But I
get through. Most kids my age are academically preparing themself
for their future. They go to school and they learn but me I am creating
mine. My voice is my instrument and as long as I have it I plan to use it.
My passion is singing and my heart is in performing but my money always
gets spent on shopping.
Yes I am a women and I was created to be of a helpmate to my spouse
but that doesn't mean that I am not human. Though I may have breast and
my hips may make the shape of my body different doesn't make you
suprerior. I have a mind and I am an individual. I can think and
make decision for myself, all while taking care of all responsibilty.
I am your mother and your grandmother I was responsible for your up bringing.
Don't belittle me because of my sex!

Tiffanie Mccall Poem
You are
the sugar to my Kool-Aide
the hot sauce to my chicken wings
the basement to my house party
You are
the music to my d.j.
the alcohol when my CD won't play
the outlet for my electricity
Without
you there is no me
light shines through you and I see
someone I want to be.....with
you complete me
When I'm
with you I'm happy
and glad that I have you
there's so many feelings
That I
have deep inside me
It's like you're apart of me
I feel your heart beeting
with mine they're in tune
One day
we will be together
we're lovers for ever
I just wanna tell you
This is how I fell

Tiffanie Mccall Poem
I feel a cold wind when I'm awake
But can't sleep because of all the heartache
And pain I've caused knowing it's not right
But still I continue and continue to fight
Searching for someone who will turn on the light
Screaming for help knowing no one is there
Cherishing the trust and the love I once shared
For anyone living and giving me the chance to shine
Seeing all but still feeling blind
Because of the darkness in my mind
Through this tunnel of darkness I see
A blurred picture of prosperity
Even though I barley see me
I clearly see the surrounding
And yet the meaning of this picture has not come to me
But if I could just step outside my comfort zone
Knowing that I can't do this alone
So I get the Man upstairs on the phone
Praying and hoping that He's home
He picks up and I cry
Lord oh God please hear my prayer
I already promised to let you come downstairs
I said you come inside and my body we'll share
Hello....God are you still there?
Illuminate my darkness so your light can shine
Take over my body my soul and my mind
I'm yours Lord
And I'm for real this time
