Langston Hughes would be a very good start.

Here’s one of his poems-

Ballad of the Landlord

by Langston Hughes

Landlord, landlord,

My roof has sprung a leak.

Don’t you ‘member I told you about it

Way last week?

Landlord, landlord,

These steps is broken down.

Vvhen you come up yourself

It’s a wonder you don’t fall down.

Ten Bucks you say I owe you?

Ten Bucks you say is due?

Well, that’s Ten Bucks more’n I’l pay you

Till you flx this house up new.

What? You gonna get eviction orders?

You gonna cut off my heat?

You gonna take my furniture and

Throw it in the street?

Um-huh! You talking high and mighty.

Talk on-till you get through.

You ain’t gonna be able to say a word

If I land my fist on you.

Police! Police!

Come and get this man!

He’s trying to ruin the government

And overturn the land!

Copper’s whistle!

Patrol bell!

Arrest.

Precinct Station.

Iron cell.
