Langston Hughes started writing poems as a way to explore and express the experiences of African Americans, particularly the struggles and joys of everyday life. He wanted to give a voice to his community and address issues of racism, identity, and inequality through his powerful and evocative poetry.

I do not know but here is an amazing poem this little nine year old girl wrote.

The Clock Chimes Two

by Eman Ahmad

Watching the clock,waiting,waiting

Popular students around me,watching,watching

As for me,2 'o' clock I'm awaiting.

The reason I'm doing this,

a privilege it is.

Annually it happens and we dearly miss,

this generous event we're waiting for,

where we imitate the greatest war.

The clock chimed two,the opening of the door.
