I'm watching all this shit on youtube about my city, Philadelphia, the section known as Kensington and how it's over run by drug addiction and poverty. It makes me really sad to see that things have gotten so bad here...I use to hate this place when I was a teenager, me and Jon called it "Killadelphia" and all we wanted was to get the fuck out someday. Jon made it out but now that I'm older part of me just doesn't want to leave. The streets are are run down and falling apart in a lot of neighborhoods and the police...they don't really care. At the end of the day it's just a fucking job for them. The sad part is they treat the people who are innocent like the people who are guilty. Throwing the criminal to the ground and threatening to arrest the bystanders if they don't get back in their houses. Why? They're not doing anything wrong, just watching what's going on in front of their house like concerned citizens do. It wasn't always like this here either. Most of Philly especially Kensington was all industrial land back in the 1900s and if you lived in Kensington you most likely had a job at a factory. Things didn't get like this until they shut down all the factories and moved them out of the country. Now you have a city full of poverty like many other cities, the economy is fucked and the government doesn't seem to give a rats ball sack about it. It makes me fucking sick with anger and I mean I don't live in a bad neighborhood granted Northeast Philly has plenty of crime and in about ten years we may be just as bad as it is down in Kensington and West Philly, but it really does make me fucking sick to see that things have gotten so bad and the people who sit behind the desks and run the show are to blame. So while Jon got out I'm still here and I no longer hate this city at all. I love my city, this is home....I'm just sad to see things going down hill slower and slower. Now I know Philadelphia is not the only city in the country with problems like this, it's just damn....it fucking sucks. Doesn't anyone care? Or is it just the people who are suffering that give a fuck. What the fuck is happening to my city?
