The ghetto.
Where most children are born out of wedlock
Where most children grow without a father
The ghetto.
Where my 13 year old niece is now a mother
Abandoning her daughter and adopting the “catwalk “
The ghetto
Where most girls don’t sleep at home anymore
Bunking school , they don’ t care about their grades .
The ghetto.
Where your bestfriend is now a whore
Not being intimidated by HIV AIDS .
The ghetto.
Where our beautiful mothers cry in and out
Trying to escape from the hands of poverty
The ghetto.
They are emotionally tired without a doubt.
But still , they are victims of robbery.
The ghetto.
Where our children sleep on empty stomachs
Eating out of trash heaps if they are lucky sometimes
The ghetto.
Where our mothers get cash out of the cans
they ‘ve collected during the storm
Trying to put food on the table for their children and spouses
When all they need is a cup of coffee to keep warm
While the rich sit upon their beautiful houses.
The ghetto.
