Sharing a spoken word poem I wrote 10 years ago. A piece by R. Cam on the latest
“Ghost Jail” podcast gave me a feel of cadence and style so I wanted to revisit this.
Nelson Mandela, Newt Gingrich, Nirvana
The dot.com boom, Tomagachi swoon,
Bush War 1, the storm of deserts & puppet Hussein,
Oil pumping the Middle Eastern vein.
99 WTO in Seattle,
Began the battle, people vs. global capital- ism,
The schism.
Fist sized cellphones echo
y2k !
Mayday! Mayday!
2000 Florida tossed the salad of democracy lost
Diebold polling machines an error or fate?
ONE PERSON ONE VOTE I berate
9/11 9/11 9-1-1 but who pays the cost?
The terrorist reign of dubya
Tic-tac-toe through Afghaniland, Iraq, what about Iran?
X-X-O two kisses and an open hug.
From the United States with Love.
America’s Online, the messenger takes great AIM
Block me, stalk me, warn me, warning.
Myface spacebook, spare some time to have a look?
The “Lives of Others” is no German movie.
Graduate

Knowledge
Where’s my job Uncle Sam?
Shaved the Bush,
Obama’s smoking hope
I’ll host a tea party with your skull
2010 brought one less zero
Is nihilism is not yet null?
