LIFE’S NOT A BED OF ROSES<\/p>\n

Wait until you meet a youth from the largest slum in Africa, Kibera.
\nWe grew up together,
\ndidn’t know much except to survive.
\nEach and everyday we strived to make a better life.
\nOnly to realize at the end it’s a lie.
\nEverybody took a turn leading to a better destination.
\nBut they didn’t mind how the destination would turn to be.
\nLife proved to be difficult,thats all.
\nEnds couldn’t meet, some had to find a way.
\nLife without opportunity
\nCrime became the only option for sure.
\nRobbing the poor to be less poorer.
\nIt’s a dangerous life but no alternative.
\nInfact it’s a life full of thorns cause any wrong turn you make, leads to your maker.
\nDon’t expect much in life, we only need daily bread
\nliving from hand to mouth Just because the door to opportunities is sealed.
\nLiving dangerously. Counting your days to the grave.
\nIf only there could be a different way, most, infact all could have took the other way.
\nBut living life the hard way making only the best to survive has turned boys into monsters,
\ngirls into harlots,
\nKingdom of sodom and gomorah could feel ashamed.<\/p>\n

Orphans at a tender age struggling to make it in life whatsoever.
\nMature criminal minds at puberty.
\nCall it the university of life
\nas all this is as a result of drug and drug abuse.
\nJust praying to God
\nyouths in my ghetto will get positive energy.
\nIt’s a fight we engage everyday.
\nHoping to win the fight
\nbut I know, it needs more to win the war.
\nCause the gospel is already in its place,
\nlive short and enjoy
\nthat’s the motto to go by,
\ndeath has become the norm of the day
\nno one’s afraid to loose a life just hoping things will change.
\nA day when each and every youth will engage to fight vices
\nbut for now that’s the life of a ghetto youth.
\nSad reality!<\/p>\n
