Fat People

By Kaylan Galloway

You finally start running

Trying to lose weight

When you take a quick glance in the mirror and realize it’s too late

Your stomach hangs past your knees

You take two steps and you find it hard to breathe

You’re not sleep but yet you’re snoring

When you’re not eating the moment is boring

You say you thick but you know you’re fat

And your chest looks like an extra butt-crack

You’re known in our school as whale back

You can feed half of Africa with all the snacks in your backpack

I find it funny you past health class

I guess the health teacher got tired of your fat ass

You can’t fit through the doorway so the teacher threw you in the hall

You shake the whole school with just a single fall

And since you out of breathe no one hears it when you call

If you’re offended I would be glad to end this

Because

Even though you’re fat you’re still on my friend’s list

My rating: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/310015110%22%3E4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
This is a great book. It consists of many different stories. One of my favorite was "The bench". It was a story about a man refusing to get off a bench and everyone respected him for it. The policemen waas telling him to get up & People was yelling, "Don't argue with the nigga, just get him up."
<br/>Another one of the my favorite stories in this book was "Bruzz". This book was about a boy who worked at a store then a man came in as if he was new to the town. The man was questioning the boy. He was buying a lot of drinks and talking like he had been running from someone or something. He asked about cops and why did the boy's town have any. He then seemed shock and chilled. He was a crimnal and the sheriff told the other members of the town that "the little boy was a smart little Negro". This was because he was the one who hsd caught the crook.
<br/>
<br/>Another story I read in this book was called "The convert" . A pretty good storie. This is about a man doing whats right. His friend was murdered but the white men who beat his friend wanted him to say he had reached for the gun and that's what started the fight. Now they are in the courtroom and he is scared because all the white people are in the front staring him down. He said the he wasn't sure if his friend reached for the gun. This really pissed every one in the courtroom off. Well all the white folks. The whites ordered he get out of town as quickly is he could.

 Beautiful Business Woman

Your hazel brown eyes brings out the stripes in your tan dress

Your slightly cracked smile makes you a lot differrent from the rest.

Your amazingly soft voice
Makes you be able toget any man of your chice
Your light-brown skin and how soft your skin feels

The way carry your brown suitcase it makes things seem real
You sit in your office and listen to everything your fat boss mension 

Your independence and your ambition

are two things that catches my attention

Employee of the year 5 times has to be glory

You will live to tell such a fanscinating story

As you block out all the people playing around
you open up to all the people working through town

You conquer sound
