Kasi Township Ghetto

Cant sleep because I still smell the smoke on my clothes from the fire we just put out. I cant help but think about the soul we lost this early morning Mornings are supposed to be filled with fresh air, birds singing, children playing happily. Let me introduce u to my world, where dead rats, filthy green moldy water standing on the street is what u up too. Welcome to ekasi (the ghetto/ township). Children electrocuted till death by faulty wires while playing. I cant help it but being robbed while going to the shop everyday. Going to college feels like a crime because people judge saying u think u better than everyone. My condolences to each & every innocent soul lost in these grounds my heart bleeds for u, no soul lost will be forgotten Dear government I hope u are able to sleep well at night while making empty promises & forgetting the souls you live behind, there blood is in ur hands
