[hometext] => I've gown up in the barrio, and I've seen how it destroys lives.....have been in a gang....and this would be a prayer through a thugs eyes
[bodytext] => Please God, lead me down your Golden Road Take me away from this ghetto Away from this world. This world is too harsh In which I live It takes lives and dreams What else do I have left to give ? My ghetto is full death Drugs, Sex and Hate We all hate our own color of skin When is it going to be to late? That blood stained bullet Has taken my homeboy's last breath We never should have messed with death Playing our Russian Roulette. The Cocaine and Heroin Better known as Chiva and Blow Killed my first love and Took my friends soul. Dear Lord, where I come from I don't see you beside me The only footprints I see Are those of children running to be free. Too many friends, Christ Are six feet down or in the Pen. Why have I made it this far? When will all this madness end? This ghetto that I live in Kills children and takes their lives Falls them victim to drugs or gangs Please help them open their eyes. Please God, lead me out of this life Wait for me at the Crossroads Beacuse my final light , Lord Has already shone.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
