Ghetto's Xmas

Christmas in the ghetto

Santa sleigh the slums

tree lights twinkled colors

here comes winter's wonderland

upon the blighted area

never sees fun where people

fight every night

Tiny Ann and her brother

Stan inner city blues gets

new shoes, toys and a 

coat under the mistletoe

did eyes glow for this one

night of laughter & love

Parents weigh in for the

cause once a year fake

Santa Claus to cheer Hobo's

row where city folk incline

bout the days to come after

Santa's done n bills is due.

Good job with this Roxane. Many of us would enjoy hearing poetry about life in areas where many of us have never seen. Keep up the good work.
