Uhm.. I Say "Oh My Gosh, GIRL, NO!" Before I Laugh Hard ...


You see hooligans, tagging buildings, I see artists.
You see a smart-mouthed little girl, who always has to have the last word, I see a defense attorney.
You see the disrespectful boy in the back of the class who loves banging beats on the desk while you speak, I see a music composer.
You see a hard headed girl who never complies with the dress code, I see a fashion designer.
You see a city, a "ghetto war zone."
I see a community trying, I see a place, a place, I call home.

I just don't agree with the way the media makes my city look. It's a great and loving city, we're all a family =)

I really like this!! I agree that the media tends to turn a great city into something that it is not... Keep Writing!!!
