Kaden frequently ships me over little cultural gems I never would have found on my own. He outdid himself tonight.
I'd never heard of Def Poetry, and if I had, would've written it off - it's the "Def," you see, brings up terrible memories of my hair-band days, when I thought bands such as Def Leppard were the shit. But Kaden knows that all he has to do is hook me with a quote.
Try this one: "Knowledge cures ignorance. So if you're in the know... be fucking contagious!"
If that's not an Elitist Bastards battle cry, I don't know what is.
And the rest simply blew me away:
Do you have chills? I have chills. Fucking outstanding, that is. It's raw, revealing poetry at its absolute best.
Fucking contagious, indeed.
WOW. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is some powerful stuff!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful... Definitely strikes home, too, having been raised in the south.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
