Ghetto Defined

(noun): A place where is judged but not saved

where babies are being made but not born

where souls dreamt for freedom but can't dream

where youth dies young; no longer an old generation

where love is misplaced by lust, being shown by baby-stoppers on the streets

where survivng a day is more of a blessing than prayer

where education is no longeer known as school..

street smart is the new etiquette

where Father's pull the illiterate and walk by their sons

while others struggle to feed the mouths at the devil table

where black turned into mixed colors

where police sirens are music to the ears

gun shots firing through imaginations....

to bad that is no longer a fear...
