50 Cent Comments

Heart-touching poem, dear Edward and we can learn so much from your experience and words, although not in the ghetto. TOP Marks for you and your poem

I have to 'pause' to have a meal. I plan to return, but it probably won't be till tomorrow; it's my wife's PC. Remind me? bri ;)

(cont.) I walked to a Harlem grocery store several blocks from our rental and didn't realize I was not supposed to gather food in my own shopping bag. A store detective stopped me and questioned me. Ha! ! : )

I've begun to read the poem. So, you are a Big Apple Boy (oops! I mean Man, man! !) ? My wife and I rented in Harlem for a few days during a NYC visit a few years back. (cont.)

Ain't there a rapper named 50 Cent? He ain't YOU, IS HE? ? A fish in one's hand? That sounds fishy to me. I looked at a few comments, below. Mine will come... ;)

And I suppose most readers would be surprised to realize the tragedy of living on 50 cents a day. Your poem has expressed this clearly, although it weighs heavy on the reader's heart. Thanks for posting!

Hi Edward, the poignant but powerful poem ranks at 69 in the Best Poems Of Members. Congratulations.

Life n the ghetto teaches you a lot: to live on 50 cents a day, to go on for days without a meal, to love and not to love, and finally to live a life with values or to be a robber…

Taught by the streets, Lived by the streets, Learned by the streets, Loved by the streets, Hated by the streets....this is your best poem dear poet. I love it

I was born in the ghetto with, The status of poverty without a fish in my hand; I was taught in the ghettto with, Much tears than hope....acute poverty has taught you how to live a life. This is a great poem!

An honest poem that truthfully depicts the acute poverty and bitter experiences in the begone days of the poet.

I was born in the ghetto with, the status of poverty........but that poverty has taught you the reality of life and you are a gentle person and a wonderful poet. This is a great poem.
