Poem -
In The Ghetto.
I live in a ghetto in the poor part of town.
Where people’s souls are never up but always down.
Over me always an unwelcoming dark cloud.
It is like I’m being wrapped in a dirty smelly shroud.
Everyday life is a chore.
I hate going out through my decrepit front door.
Outside the air is lung sickeningly stale.
All around peoples faces sickeningly pale.
This part of town is not a god fearing place.
From peoples minds all that god fearing stuff poverty did erase.
Equality in this world my sad poor eyes can not see.
From this dark unwelcoming cloud i just want to be free.

ooh ow.. this poem hurts and it weighs heavy and it makes me think in
dark grey film over every thing.. but that is what you wanted I expect to convey the feeling of hopeless dead zone life that sucks the very marrow of decency out of ya. I can relate unfortunately.
