Miami


The beautiful city of Miami, right?

Palm trees, Red Maple trees, and Black Mangroves

Yet there are aslo uncut grasslands, infertile soil and abandoned land

Clear beaches, National parks, Huge Malls

But there are also rundown uninhabited houses, project homes, nd corners compacted with the homeless

Downtown Miami, Wynwood, the Design District, the Arsht Center for Performing Arts and the Freedom Tower

However there is still Liberty City, Overtown, "Murder Gardens", Little Havana, Little Haiti and Coconut Grove

Miami is depicted as one of the finest cities in America 

On the other hand, Miami faces high levels of poverty

Meaning the basic needs of a person is not being met

Needs are overseen by the lavishness being televised through media

Before we hop on jet skis, maybe we should give a helping hand
