It is a fact, not a favour, to be born outside a ghetto, wasteland or slum town: no one should reprove me for not having cultivated the field myself not having paved the roads and eating fruit from trees that I have not planted It is a fact, no a fault, to be born inside a ghetto, wasteland or slum town: no one should reprove me for having come here on roads that I haven't paved to work in other people's fields and to eat the fruit of trees that I have not planted
