Ghetto Dreams
In the ghetto, life's a continual battle,
Broken dreams and shattered cattle,
Yet hope still blooms in the rubble,
Like a rose from a concrete jungle.
The streets are filled with lost souls,
Their dreams crushed like empty coal,
But their spirits soar like eagles,
Carrying them beyond life's hurdles.
Amidst the chaos and the strife,
There's beauty in the ghetto's life,
A tapestry of pain and joy,
A reflection of the human ploy.
For in the ghetto, there's a fire,
A burning desire to rise higher,
To break the chains of poverty,
And embrace a life of prosperity.
So let us not judge what we see,
For in the ghetto, there's much to be,
A testament to the human soul,
A reminder of our ultimate goal.
About this poem
The poem is about life in the ghetto, where people face many challenges such as poverty, broken dreams, and shattered hopes. Despite the difficulties, there is still hope and beauty in the midst of the chaos. I'm speaking about the resilience and strength of those living in the ghetto, who seek to rise above their circumstances and pursue a better life. I hope it encourages people not to judge those living in the ghetto, but rather to see the beauty and potential that exists within them. Ultimately, this is a reminder that we all share a common goal - to live a life of prosperity and fulfillment. The American Dream! more »
