Bitter Fruit

I’m a bitter fruit that fell from a tree...

A bitter fruit raised in the Ghetto, no Daddy 

for me...

I hated life and life hated me...

This place was were I lived; it had made many other 

bitter fruits, just like me...

No love did I have for this world, you see?

Bitter at this world I will always be...

Not one person has ever cared for me!

My own Mother left me; all she 

wanted was that white rock...Not me!

No tears from this bitter fruit will you 

ever see...

So what if I’m a bitter fruit? Should I not 

have the right to be? 

No damn body has ever cared for me!
