Poor Ghetto Boy

He's a black man in a white America. A ghetto child born in the gutter and raised by the streets. Manipulated and humiliated by the world, beaten, until he can no longer stand for what it is he believes.

A poor ghetto boy

The world weighs heavily on his shoulders. As each day passes by, the quicksand known as American capitalism threatens to pull him under.

Dying slowly, he is unable to voice his opinion because as a black man in a white America they give him no voice to begin with.

He bears no scholastic titles or claims of royalty, but even if he did, he unfortunately exists in a world where others are still uncaring and no title holds any bearing all because... he is a black man in a white America.

But oh! If they knew. If they knew that at birth he has the strength of 1000 soldiers. The intelligence of any Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, or Ben Franklin. In fact, he is greater than any of those things.

He is a warrior in the army of the Lord. He is a George Washington Carver, a W.E.B. Du Bois, an Elijah McCoy, a Ben Carson, a Langston Hughes, a Garret Morgan, a Sam Cooke, a Malcom X, a Denzel Washington, and a Martin Luther King Jr. all wrapped up in one. A potential renaissance man in the making, he is. An entity pre-destined for greatness, success, and prosperity!

But oh, I almost forgot...

Poor ghetto boy

Still a black man in a white America. A ghetto child born in the gutter and raised by the streets. Manipulated and humiliated.. Beaten until he can no longer stand for what it is he believes. Until all there's left is just a poor...ghetto...boy.
