    lost struggles

    looking at life
    &&how things could be
    the world filled w/blessings
    destiny
    &&opportunity
    children comin'up in a world of ludacris
    they new to this
    acting as if they have no clue
    mother working
    daddy not around
    so they're left searching
    to fulfil the lonelyness
    because what mom was giving
    It doesnt seem so true
    Dazed and forbidden in the sky
    like a bird w/no wings
    he doesnt know where to go
    or what to do
    Being only 16 and in a place of devestation
    war.gangs.
    &&mama so busy
    she cant pay attention to her creation
    everyday struggles to survive
    our brothers all locked up
    && you have to be in the house at a certain time just to stay alive
    from the outside looking in
    it doesn't SEEM so bad you would say
    but at the end of the day
    you can get in your car a drive away
    where Im from
    you cant dwell upon the future
    tomorrow's not promised
    In the ghetto
    you have to live for T0DAY!

    It is alot of truth in your poem; truth that many people don't want to admit to.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
