Today I seem to look upon Denver, Colorado in a whole different view, a view that arises
out of Denver’s rude behavior towards its homeless and lower class population. Why do I look upon Denver in such a bad light? Four years ago I moved to Denver because I wanted a way
to start over in life. When I first came here everyone was on top of the situation that Denver was a good place for someone like me to start a new life. Now everything has changed, and it has actually changed for the worst.
Starting with the legalization of pot in a community that already was rich, politicians have used this legalization to become even richer. Republicans have taken over as the dominant force in Denver’s up-growing community, and many worthless people have traveled into the city to destroy its cleanliness and beautiful parks and reserves. The citizens have gone from helping
persons like me to start over, to ignoring the lower classes, and in some instances, whole committees have been formed with the intent of kicking out all of the lower classes.
Where do the homeless go and what are they supposed to do? We are now trapped in a city that will not help, keeps locking us up for no place to sleep, and will not help with the bus fare for those traveling through to make it back home. We are fed well just to keep us alive and miserable.
In 2012 an anti-camping bill was passed in the City of Denver, making it illegal to sleep outside, but with this bill the city was supposed to build a new shelter that would actually provide the homeless and lower classes here a way to receive the help they needed to become productive members of society. Has that happened? No! Many grants later, there has been no effort to do so, and most of the money from the tickets and other citations has been used to build upper-class housing and a new bus station, that let it be noted, does not even have a
pay phone installed.
I openly admit to being an Occupy representative, and openly admit to representing a portion of the lower classes that exceeds more than half of the homeless. In doing so, I came to Denver as a rich man, but now within the changing community, I have become just as homeless and broke as the people I represent. I wonder if Denver will become the next Detroit, bankrupt due to the Republicans thinking they can run the lower classes out of a major city, or I wonder if it will stay a crime to be homeless in the City of Denver.
No longer do I love the City of Denver like I did when I moved here in the end of 2009. No longer do I wish to be a part of its thriving community, and by all rights am I wrong for feeling that way? I would hope that Denver changes its over-all outlook upon the lower classes. Without the lower classes, a city can not build itself. I do everything I can for the lower
classes, but now it has become a crime to stand up against the City of Denver. It has become a crime to be homeless in Denver. Some of us do work when work is available, some of us do right when we have stability in our lives, so remember, the up-rising crime rate of the lower classes is coming from a city that pushes its homeless and lower classes to do things
just to survive a very evilly transforming community.
I believe that if something is not said against the rich of Denver, we all will be puppets to the ones that Denver hates the most, the good old federal government. This is the voice for the homeless and lower-class, a voice simply to be known as Miracle, and as my name states, I am
asking for that Miracle to transform Denver back into what it was a couple years ago, a city glowing with beauty and the ability to transform oneself for the better.
