The Ghetto (For Gg78, Challenge)

I live in the ghetto with the rest of them
The ones that are hard pressed
Feared by our 'superiors' and better
So we're beaten down and repressed.
But just because we're on the streets
Don't think we're worthless,
We were put here, beaten down
Pushed back and herded into this corner
This tiny area of the city with hardly any room.
We look out for each other
This way also makes us tougher
We can stand more than the rest of you
You easy-living lilly-livers in your shiny metal towers.
Towers we built
Towers we were forced to build
Towers you created, but we built
And some day us robots will break them down
Maybe that day I'll pop my foot in your ass.
