"Ghetto Eyes"
  by Gillian Rivera




Behold...the perfect abstract,
with a glance of a squinted reality.

Tree-less streets, lined with discarded dreams,
broken bottles of hope.

Mixed with an array of troubled pain...
Decorated corners of "Come get your drink on!"

As Me killing you...floods the news waves.
Seeking an all-stars escape...
--In the game of "Crime pays, FUCK better days!"

See beyond the projects of neglect,
billboards of "death in a carton"

On to the hills...of a better way.
Fornicating with shaded visions...
...of a way out.

Forging over maggots of inadequate thinking.
As elevation is met with accomplishments.
Maiming the giant of discouragments seed.

"Ghetto eyes"

See beyond the the light, dont just follow it...
FIGHT!

Recognize the true fruit of love...
Refusing to be blinded by the cataracts of doubt
"As self trust"
Leads to the home of...
"Trust someone else"

Finding complete fulfillment,
In foundations of established relations...
Blessed with those heavenly smiles...

"Ghetto eyes"

CRYING, DRYING...
...LOOKING, SEEING,
SEEKING & FINDING.

Recognized with a wink...
sealed with those lips...
those eyes that defy...
Its them right there...

Lost in every stare...

Ghetto eyes...
