Get me, from the ghetto, I say. <br />Here I wish, like in Alice’s day. <br />Emergent, is my complete plea. <br />Take me away, please set me free. <br />Tears have been wiped; so dry. <br />Only my mind; will not say goodbye. <br /> <br />Growing up here, I must shun. <br />I have no dreams, left but one. <br />Reel me into that bubble to float. <br />Let me share outside, what I tote.<br /><br />cecil hickman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ghetto-girl/
