Ghetto Poetry - Dravitoz

silent heavens breath a few words,
a long stare into the lonely skies.
the mind boggles the troubled times,
i'm trapped in these troubled waters.

so many troubled souls down here;
prostitution of young black sisters,
teenage boys inside our own prisons,
a nation cursed by selfish demons.

episodes of gender transformation,
innocent images of God losing identity.
violent passion of love making,
resulting in unwanted babies.

silent heavens breath a few words,
a long stare into the lonely skies.
the mind boggles the troubled times,
i'm trapped in these troubled waters.

dark angels crawl our ghetto streets,
living in fear of our own shadows.
termination of young future leaders,
from our very own teenage abortions.

politicians running for parliamentary,
scores of our people going hungry.
i seek divine intervention on the horizon,
hope God hears my prayer at the break of dawn.

silent heavens breath a few words,
a long stare into the lonely skies.
the mind boggles the troubled times,
i'm trapped in these troubled waters.
