Poem
BORN IN A GHETTO Powerless and choiceless birth and place It is the place where dreams are turned into fantasy The elite and elect build walls to cage us in caves of poverty This place where Politian’s use us as the door doormats We are all nothing in the ghetto, just rats to be feed to cats In my own country I have become economical and mental slave Tribalism and nepotism is the only way to get a respectable job I despise to live and die in the ghetto; I will fight my way to the top From a place being corrupt is the only means of becoming rich Educational level or qualifications are worthless in the ghetto Being imposter of prophets and preachers is now the common Trend for surviving because government resources are far from Our reach, this place were the naïve and boobs are fed fairytales Church was supposed to be mind and spiritual transforming place Its now more unethical, hypnotizing the vulnerable woman and girls I detest living and dying in the ghetto: I will fight my way to the top Young girl, young boy just continue to believe, continue dream Because we all dreamt to get away from the ghetto, out of the ghetto One day you will walk on water, yes you will fly beyond the sky Never let the place of birth or childhood influence circle stop you The only absolute truth is that we are all destined for greatness Face it or fade out in fear, reality is what you create and believe it to be I was born a ghetto and there is no way MY sons with grow up in the ghetto I dislike living and dying in the ghetto: I will fight my way to the top
