Poems by Langston Graduates
This Historical Black College of Mine

I've walked in the path of my Ancestors
The Path that they have made is plain and clear
Along with the struggle of keeping the College afloat
Trying to close it down with all kinds of accusations
This Historical Black College of Mine
I stand to pass the test of time
I've walked in the path of my Ancestors
Focused on a better Future
For all diverse Cultures
With all different skin tones
This Historical Black College of Mine
I stand to pass the test of time
I've walked in the path of my Ancestors
Threading the water as it is released
With each new semester
Each new Professor puts their own new wave out
This Historical Black College of Mine
I stand to pass the test of time
I've walked in the path of my Ancestors
I served my time
And worked along the way
Keeping up with my child and as well as my studies
This Historical Black College of Mine
I stand to pass the test of time
I never thought of the day that I could say
I walked in the path of my Ancestors
I got my papers
I graduated
At this Historical Black College of Mine
Langston University
Still stands the test of time.
