RURAL APPROCH TO URBAN LIFESYTLES

"ghetto", this thing ghetto, never stops reciting in my mind..., ghettos, i keep on thinking about the revival that will set these places free, i imagine no one ever wonders why such a word would recite in any ones mind.

am not sure if you know what am talking about, if you don't know any way, you are yet to know.

actually this will save us from going into details of explaining the word and its meaning,but concentrate on what happens in there.

ghettos in Uganda, unlike in the developed world, are fascinating, even though its more of a blessing in disguise, how a man can rise up into a noble character, become a father, and most of all a leader, with the big things and big dreams laying in the lives in the ghettos, its more than what one can comprehend.

though not so many imagine good things from the Muddy houses in the slums areas of a developing country everything is possible with focus handwork and planing.

for sure unless you stop by, look and look again, life in the ghetto is next to nothing, i have seen people rise up and become nobles on scratch, how that happens, no doubt, its none other than God. its where people live to see there dreams even when they can't visualize what they can't see, with out long term plans, because the poverty line is ten times below than what can be documented, with no budgets for basic needs but survival for the fittest.

infested with all kinds of natural disasters, ghettos are never sparsely populated even when the huge numbers don't attract notice to the government, yet, if to some extent there is some thing worth of notice, that will be an out break of chore la, a crack down of drug peddlers, or something of a sort.

sad how i thought my country was breaking away from the main stream problems facing Africa, such that have been on record from way back, that is, ignorance, diseases, and poverty, unfortunately, the channels are more of a sophisticated chapter, if not another episode.

don't know if any one out there can bare me witness, we all live in the same time frame, and share so many things in common though life remains a game of chess in the ghettos.

as the numbers in the ghettos rise, the death toll rises too, in fact this solidifies the thought that life in the ghettos is survival for the fittest. while thousands swam to these areas in such for green pastures, the reception is so tremendous with cheap housing,but with high traffic with the fastest speed at which diseases flow.

with a poor rural approach to urban lifestyles, ghettos seem to be organized in a way that we never get bothered living there even when we realize we might be infested, diseases from STD s to natural diseases, dupe wars to prostitution.

unfortunately, this dimension is taking with it the youth, premature deaths sweeping lives yet every year sees new breeds come to the city, the economy is seriously dictating the trails, every one in the ghetto is griped to what i term as the new episode...,

sex, money and drugs.
