The writer of the poem "Crowbar Thing" sates how he is against gentrification due to the harsh treatments that it has brought upon to the people. He mentions how ever since the incident of Pete beating three immigrants and was not in trouble, portrayed how anyone could do anything and get away with it. Just like gentrification and how people are just renewing society without a problem. He uses the word "thing" after every statement because it gives the tone of careless which demonstrates the attitude that society has nowadays towards gentrification

Protesting without violence is practically the best way to effectively combat any situation such as gentrification. Poetry is a effective way to protest in a positive way because it reaches a different audience. To add on, it also is a great way to reach an audience by getting into their emotions and thus gain support.
