Another Poem.....

My sky is no longer blue but a mystical grey with faded clouds only formed by the end of a blunt

As my soul only dances to "hood-rat" music society calls hip-hop

fearing to walk with both ears plugged

for the streets around my neighborhood are labeled as "war zones"

fighting flying bullets with nothing but a dream and knowledge

stuck with no one to call, because 9-1-1 are the one pulling the triggers

I thought I was living on a earth but reality placed me in a system called "The Ghetto"

I had to grow up fast, for this world snacthed my innocence before I even got to live

Always wonder would life be much more easier without eyes

maybe then we could see how beautiful the world really is

for I know my beliefs isn't really that strong

so excuse me if I say I know God didn't color me black to be judged

I'm just thinking other people thoughts....

U see making the dream requires that U must sleep. In the end, the ones U meet bring action to what U stand for. So it is, that U land up, not the ghetto, but the shaky ground, born into this world as one in the crowd.
