Ghetto child Do I need to remind you Just being born was an obstacle Nevermind a mothers addiction Ghetto child Don't get me wrong she tried to raise her baby right But the virus inside her took her life And left her baby to rot Ghetto child Growing up wasn't easy selling rock on the corner Just to go home with a loaf of bread and a gallon of water Ghetto child A man now the life path is chosen Making money on the corner paid off no joking Now I've got a baby of my own But he'll never see me home I am behind bars, locked up for life dang my mother had it easy Atleast she got to see her ghetto child before she past And now I sit here; wondering if she could would she see her ghetto child at last [This message has been edited by TrueLUV (edited 02-23-2001).] |

life can be really cruel...but in the end, it's still up to us to change it. hand in there...be strong So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S. |

I think acire is right, but sometimes there's just no other way I guess....some of us are forced into a crappy life. Greatly written here. Tons of truth in this.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Wow... this is an excellent poem. The ending is superb. I am putting it in my library. -Allan The unintelligent are merely tools for the intelligent. That would make my house a veritable toolshed. ~~Allan Riverwood |
