Ghetto Youth by Danny K

This is for the ghetto youth,
But don't make me regret it,
This is for those whose destiny seems chosed but no one ever really said it,
I'm here ready to do battle and fight against injustice,
Because I was once that ghetto youth, challenging the world that said no one should ever trust us,
Or even have faith,
That ghetto youth have no future and it's written all over their face,
Or that their are just poor and thugs,
And deserve hopelessness and disdain instead of compassion or hugs,
It's no wonder why so many ghetto youth lose the strength to fight and crumble,
Because how can this world seem fair when most of their lives were full of pain and struggle,
But I can hear the cries and see the tears from the ghetto youths eyes everytime I wake,
So massive, immense and deep that it's enough to start a quake,
Yet, I'm hoping that it fuels a revolution,
Because it's in human nature to strive to survive so never giving up is the only solution,
Showing those that doubted you that your worth more than just their pity,
Never again will you sit back and wonder "Why me?",
It's time to stand up and show the world that you are ready,
So rise to the challenge and walk without fear,
Knowing that I am standing behind you and will always be there,
Because this one is for the Ghetto Youth
