LOVE FOR LIBERTY

Love For Liberty This poem was inspired by the Gentrification of East Liberty in Pittsburgh, PA. It is for those who were once in love with a place they called home, just to get it taken away from the effects of gentrification: DEFINITION (the process of repairing and rebuilding homes and businesses in a deteriorating area (such as an urban neighborhood) accompanied by an influx of middle-class or affluent people and that often results in the displacement of earlier, usually poorer residents of a neighborhood.) This poem can also be found in a recent short film I was apart of called: Liberty Child
