Life Black and White

Life i look at it in two perspective,
I shall take  Dreams as an objective.
 as i close my eyes,
I can understand that Dreams is just another disguise.
For when i wake up and step back into reality, 
 i realize that life is not a fantasy.

Life for me it  can be a worst nightmare,
Covered with nothing but fear.
Some cannot sleep,
Because of the company they keep.
Everyday death comes knocking at their door,
Knowing exactly what for.

Some since they were born,
Was considered a torn.
Just another mistake,
That their parents had make.
After the satisfaction,
The need to get an abortion.

But sometimes it is just to late,
And that child has no choice but to meet it's fate. 
Some parents wanted to live their life,
So left their children to strive.
And I won't lie,
Some just don't have a choice but to say goodbye.

Some get themselves into prostitution,
Just to find a solution.
In this generation money,
Seems to be every man Jack priority.
In this life they believe you can't pick or chose, 
Because it's all weather you win or lose.

You see the vagrants on the street,
Begging for something to eat.
Some don't have a shelter over their head,
Wishing they just drop dead.
Some try suicide,
But didn't die.

Cheating and stealing,
Violence and crime. 
Everyday you hear a rape case, 
All over the place.
Many get kill,
Against their will.
Their family hold their heads and cry, 
Asking themselves why. 

The people in this society,
Is living in a different category.
Some live high and mighty,
Making all the money.
While others live in poverty,
Not once will they join together as a community.

There is Alot of discrimination,
In this nation.
Even if your right,
You still can't put up a fight.
Regarding the colour,
The decision they will favor.

In this life that is the negative side, 
But for the positive dreams can act as a guide.
When everything is going wrong,
Your dream can give you a reason to stay strong.
It gives the opportunity to want to make our Dreams come true,
And helps us persevere for a better life to. 

Yes some children parents walk out of them, 
Causing their children to be in problem.
But still that does not give us the opportunity,
To fall in bad company.
In my perspective,
There is always another objective.
Education is free,
So we could make a betterment of you an me 

Some people say we should follow our fate, 
But I believe that is something we can create.
Yes we have a past,
Don't let it tear you apart.
Use is as a process to gain success
