'Christmas in the Ghetto School'

'Christmas in the Ghetto School'

Sad eyes

Sad faces

Some black

Some brown

Walking slowly

Eyes look down

Plaster falling

Someone calling

No one caring

Only swearing

What is sharing?

Books outdated

Poorly rated

Teachers rilled

Never smiled

Poor Black Child!

Color

The outside world

All white

Holly Green

And Tinsel bright

Then take charcoal

From Santa's sack

And Color the

Ghetto Christmas Black...
