Ghetto Of The City Poem by Dorsey Baker

When you are living in
the ghetto of the city
every street
seems to be a dead
end street
when you are
living in
the ghetto of the city
you don't trust
your neighbor
or nobody else
that you meet

When you are living in
the ghetto of the city
your future
don't seem to be
going nowhere
and every dream
seems to turn into
a nightmare
when you are living in
the ghetto of the city
its a hard
life to live
everybody wants to take
nobody wants to give
when you are living in
the ghetto of the city
its hard to stay straight
because trouble
is so easy to find
when you are living in
the ghetto of the city
you have
always got trouble
on your mind!
