An X-mas tribute to the old neighbourhood to the tune of Winter Wonderland of course
____________________________________________________

Gunshots ring,
are you listening?
Purp subdued,
Cops are kicking..
A horrible sight
every night
Walking in a ghetto wonderland

Run away, from the sirens
screeching tires, break the silence
pushers and theives
scatter like leaves
when cops come in my ghetto wonderland

In the alley druggies buy a kilo
give themselves a name like Mr. Brown
He'll say are you packing?
He'll say No man!
But just in case the pusher pats him down

Later on
we'll admire
three of four raging fires
I face without fear
these streets as they leer
a white man in a ghetto wonderland

In the alley there's an aging hooker
wears more makeup then a circus clown
every night the cops come down to book her
she doesn't seem to mind going downtown

When it snows
it is thrilling
all the purps inside chillin
I can go out an play
in my honkey white way
Living in my ghetto wonderland

Living in my ghetto wonderland
Living in my ghetto wonderland

Aenimal,
Much different from what I know, but I guess I need to be exposed...Not fun...
However, I did enjoy your rendition.
It's good to read your work again.

Ciao Raffaele! What an atmosphere you have created, touching and so vivid, that I feel like walking with you in a ghetto wonderland.
Wishing you much warmth and light to dance in your heart.
