Ghetto life, <br />Ghetto pain, <br />Ghetto dreams; <br />The vision is still in progress. <br />Of challenges, <br />Towns of sorrow; <br />But life still moves on. <br />Mission in progress, <br />Heart of love; <br />This is the message to the Big People. <br /> <br />Earth, Wind and Fire! <br />Earth, Roots and Water! ! <br />This is a message to the Small People; <br />Like, the thirty pieces of gold. <br />From man to woman, <br />From woman to baby, <br />Thirty pieces of silver; <br />Time will surely tell one day but, <br />Time is still longer than a rope. <br /> <br />Moving on, <br />Life is like thirty pieces of bronze; <br />So, don't let the glasses fool you. <br />Just one size, <br />Just one wear, <br />Just one move, <br />Just one time, <br />Just one shot, <br />Time will surely tellone day. <br />Ghetto life, <br />Ghetto people; <br />Time will tell.<br /><br />Edward Kofi Louis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-will-tell-6/
