GHETTO SYMPHONY]
the music. two legends....
http://www.youtube.com/
HEARTS OF FIRE BURN INTENSLY IN BODIES IMPRISONED IN GOVERNMENT PROJECTS WHERE ANGER ERUPTS ON A MOONLIT NIGHT.
SCREAMS OF ALCOHOL INDUCED RAGE, FLASHES OF LIGHT OFF THE BROKEN GLASS. THE BLADE OF THE KNIFE, THE BARREL OF THE GUN.
A CHILD WHO LOOKS ON WONDERING HOW IN A DEMOCRACY CAN THIS HAPPEN, REPARATIONS PAID FOR SO MUCH LESS.
SKIN OF A DIFFERENT TONE EVERYWHERE HE WALKS, MIND OF A DIFFERENT TONE EVERYWHERE HE TALKS.
WORLDS APART FROM SUBURBAN PICTURES PAINTED ON A T.V. SCREEN , PRIME TIME , CANNED LAUGHTER AND TUSSLED HAIR.
DEATH ON A SIDEWALK A ROCKS FLIGHT FROM HIS DOOR, A MOTHER WHO ON HER KNEES BEGS JESUS TO SAVE HER SON, OH JESUS BRING HIM BACK!
A CASKET LINED WITH SATIN IN THE CHAPEL OF A FUNERAL HOME, A GIRL WHO SOUGHT FOR LOVE IN THE GHETTO, A ONE YEAR OLD FATHERLESS SON ON HER HIP, HER TEARS STAIN HIS SUIT COAT.
A WAR CAUSED BY POVERTY AND FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN, RICH AFRAID OF POOR, POOR MISTRUST OF RICH.
WORLDS APART IN THE "LAND OF THE FREE."
