Philadelphia of Brotherly Hate

Location

Philadelphia it is my heart my soul it is my home. 

It is the birth place of all evil and ghetto kids like myself.It is the showcase for all crack, cocain and marijuana.It is the campus for all drug dealers and users.Philadelphia has taught me to witness and to never speak a word.It is not the city of brotherly love but it is my brother and I love it dearly.Do I believe that my brother should be on trial and sentence to 150 years to life for all the murders it has committed for all the heart it has stolen.That's why I stand before you cold and heartless with a soul of great emotion.Knowing that love is the potion to all evil and hatred in this world.But I refuse I refuse to carry the aid and disease.My city makes me cold and makes me put this grizzly on everyday when I walk into this school.My city makes me wreck less and an emotional wreck.Philadelphia the home of all great talent. It is the source of all my true happiness.But I shed tears for all the souls it has corrupted.11 year olds walking around in short dresses.I shed tears for all the bodies it has molested.Then I grow raged because it put a gun to my mothers head, robbed my sister and beat my father and put him in jail.Then I find happiness because we grind hard and work for the things that we want and we value the things that we have. My city my brother I so dearly love that touches my heart and enlightens my soul.through all things good and bad it helped me grow into the strong black person that I am today with a backbone to never be scared to preach anything I believe in.
