First of all I love the poem that speaks throughout the entire piece, although it has a very sad ending. This piece is somewhat inspiring but it is moreso informational because it let's listeners know from a teen perspective how they view their community. I find it very unfortunate how often teens and youth are killed because of gang or drug related violence. I'm hoping that someone who is listening out there in California really listens and is inspired to do something about the situation. One line that really got me was when one of the girls said, "It's like we kinda lost our generation."
