Life In The Ghetto

With gunshots the fun stops, clock tick tocks, tears dip drop. Who brought the cops? Betrayed the plot? Now we sit locked in handcuffs. We busted, can't be trusted, lost pride and not loved well..These drugs man trigger crime and brother shines yet morals die and..These hell gates make one tame, this no game, men fourplay. Now I dwell in rage life takes change, heart takes shape, it don't look the same. Life's illusions cause confusion: Apostle rumours, appointed tutors. Youth the future? Brains donned by humour. Population fewer, average humans dying sooner. Birth rates still rising, literacy skills declining, solemn promises petrifying, propaganda techniques the art of lying. Which way will you reside in? Has your confined mind decided? Here is a compass hope you will find it, but deep inside your heart is where the truth is hiding. Liberate yourself from all treason, reason? Evil spirits enable killings, you bleeding? I warned you people don't value living, SCREAMING! while your barren bones begin sinking. You dreaming? Pinch your skin anticipate the feeling, it's beating how vissions infuence what we're seeing, but believing embraces one's sacred teachings, through reading wisdom welcomes knowlege never leaving. So be it! Reap what you sow and now preech it, reach to the top before the race is now finished, win it! Embrace victory influence the weakest, alter them into achievers, life's serving dreamers...dreamers...dreamers.

The world’s largest bat is the giant golden-crowned flying fox, a rare fruit bat. It has a wingspan of 5 to 6 feet (1.5 to 1.8 m).^e The only home of the Giant Golden-Crowned Flying-Fox is in the Philippines. The specific locations include Maitum and Mindanao. They live in deep caves as well as in the rainforests. They typically follow the routes of the river, and experts believe it is because they can easily find food sources along those areas.

Bats‘see’ in the dark using a special skill called echolocation. Bats make noises and wait for the sound waves to bounce back off objects (an echo), if it doesn’t bounce back then they can safely fly forward. They can tell the distance of various objects by how quickly the sound waves bounce back to them.

Dolphins Facts

• There are dolphins with 8 teeth and there are some with 250. Bottlenose dolphins have 88-100 teeth. They only get one set of teeth for life. Dolphins do not use their teeth to chew their food, but they use their teeth to catch their food and then they swallow it whole. 
• A curved dorsal fin in the middle of their back, along with powerful, broad flukes on their tail and a pointed flipper on each side allow bottlenose dolphins to swim speeds up to 35 km/h (22 mph) and dive as deep as 915 m (3000 ft.). They have a thick layer of blubber which helps them maintain their body heat and protects them from predators such as killer whales and large sharks. They have sensitive, smooth skin that flakes off and gets replaced every few hours.

Did you know?

 To prevent drowning while sleeping only half of the dolphin’s brain goes to sleep while the other half remains awake so they can continue to breathe.

Did you know?

Like bats, dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt, bouncing high-pitched sounds off of objects, and listening for the echoes.

Did you know?

Bottlenose dolphins send messages to one another in different ways. They squeak and whistle and use body language—leaping as high as 20 feet (6 meters) in the air, snapping their jaws, slapping their tails on the surface of the water, and even butting heads.

Did you know?

Dolphins often display a playful attitude which makes them popular in human culture. They can be seen jumping out of the water, riding waves, play fighting and occasionally interacting with humans swimming in the water.
