Here In This Ghetto

Why am I stuck here in this ghetto? Is there a life for me outside of it? Why is there so much crime here? Who is to blame? Or could it just be me not knowing how to get out is there a door that will open one day? Will I be lost here for the rest of my life will that day come when I’ll be able to be free of this ghetto city I live in. will that day ever come? When I can run free walk the street and not fear who is coming up the street from behind the building waiting for me with a gun to put it to my head?! And then I’ll be dead, because in this ghetto city I’m in because you never know when your number is up! I MUST! I MUST find a way out before I am a choke line here in the street with a white sheet over me and a toe tag with the number 8622010! I must escape from here I pray that one day I will be free! When will my nightmare ever end? Just let me be free let me find that one key that will open that door to my city of joy will I ever be free will help ever come for me I need to know I now see I must help myself to find that one door that will let me be free of this ghetto I’m in and when that day comes I will say like Dr. Martin Luther King, I’m free at last. I’m free at last.
