THE GHETTO

Life in Lower looked America

Let me tell about the GHETTO

That I see threw my eyes

Alot of them are close together

And really not hard to find

Some are just slums

While others look Middle class

If you pay 300 dallars a month for rent

ONE late night coming in just might be your A*S

But now the GHETTO makes sense

I mean for a while I was confused

Whatever folks are doing now

It's just something that others use to do

And the GHETTO is really a Project

That's what the Government is trapping us in

Given us Drugs, Guns and jealousy

While we just fued with other BLACKMEN

Mostly Father less in

Neighborhoods that are going to WAR

But Who do You think is Really gonna WIN?

I see Mothers that try real hard

To provide and play both roles

And children with some bad attitudes

That just act like there grown

Others I see the Hurt

With Pain flowing threw there Souls

These Streets have raised some of us,

Changed some of us,

Killed some of us and more

The friends I had that died

I HOPE THAT THEY KNOCKED ON HEAVEN'S DOOR

This place is easy to Love,

Quick to hate

And some habits are REAL hard to let Go

Though I Learned Alot

And enjoyed some nahh, most of the times

I'm glad that I got out of the GHETTO

I can only write something like this from the experience.

I enjoyed it, very..original. It has an original voice. It reminds me of some of my writting, though it is not about the ghetto, its about bad situations that people, usully young people in my writting, get into. You could check out and review some of my writting if you like.
