An owner at a night club or bar took out his aggression out on a Mexican man and attacked him at the bar, the man was physically attacked with a crowbar. The poem stresses out the importance of gentrification weather and how it is a negative thing. Gentrification will continue to rise in areas like San Francisco and even Santa Ana and will cause racist actions towards people because the areas will usually conform middle class taste.

who does flores seek to give voice to his poem? Just as important to whom he aim to speak?

He gives his voice because of an incident that happend at a liquid bar on 16th street due to 3 imigrants who have been drinking at the club. Violence and racism happend them and the charges of the person that was guilty did not have any charges. He is speaking to the people who are pro gentrifrication.
