Lonely in the ghettoes of life




By Atok Dan

March 23, 2013

My eyes could hardly miss seeing stars at midday,
In the ghettoes lived by desperate souls
The ghettoes depicted in life
Yet souls still flourish
Never mind we are in

In the lonely ghettoes, life could still blossom in the bud
With flowers of love and hope, a festival valentine
Though shall few love the exact mindboggling
All are bound by the stage of events in the premise
The desperate environment of now

And I shall leave the rest to self-corrective nature
Is when lonely in the ghettoes of………..
Stars dim in broad daylight,
Flowers begin to wither  
Dying of desperation,
Gardeners lament too

And again in the lonely ghettoes of a jaunt
Quite impressive that few could dare
To evaluate the sex of………
Its offspring to come,
Faring well with suffering,
I shall labor like a slave,
And eats like a king

In the lonely ghettoes of life,
The lice, the shirt, and shorts,
In the hair on my head….
All are friends of the time,
I shall part-time with them
When soap, razorblade,
Are all invented,
No longer in squalid,
Peace came
