Better Life

In the Ghetto a man is born in the ghetto a man grows eventually, a man dies... buried and forgotten...in the Ghetto how long shall will live like this? No food...!...No water! at war against hunger & starvation but our hands are tied ...how can we win this fight? Government never heeds our call hand to mouth kind of life what about tomorrow? They say education is the key but i wonder where the doors at??? Graduate cum vendor Proffessor...tyre mender!!! unemployment rate....sky-high! how bright is the future? No jobs for the youths city life too harsh & demanding ...so how can man survive? final resolution...crime! final destination...Jail! for most...thats jus the end of the story ...and the cycle continues! New industry setup...the church! salvation is for sell how can a poor man be saved? a penny for a blessing how much can a brighter future cost? so much talent in the ghetto music, art...and sport but no one seems to apprecate us much ...we are from the ghetto! with those at the top stamping on our feet how can we climb up the ladder? Tired of the suffering Man cannot live forever like this this aint no war...this aint no diss man must unite and fight for... ...A BETTER LIFE!
