Hi
The dictionary said that a ghetto is an isolated or segregated area of a city. I don't see how on the www. these ideas could be isolated, since the flow of people through here freely comes and goes.
So I looked for metaphors in Elvis Presley's "In the Ghetto." It would be overly dramatic to say that these lyrics create an analogy with what happens here, or with other NA groups. Therefore I think 'ghetto' does not apply. Title: Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto lyrics
As the snow flies On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' A poor little baby child is born In the ghetto And his mama cries 'cause if there's one thing that she don't need it's another hungry mouth to feed In the ghetto
People, don't you understand the child needs a helping hand or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day Take a look at you and me, are we too blind to see, do we simply turn our heads and look the other way
Well the world turns and a hungry little boy with a runny nose plays in the street as the cold wind blows In the ghetto
And his hunger burns so he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight In the ghetto
