"One Color"

This video features two performers
who have mastered writing and reciting slam poetry.
I'm a huge poetry fan,
but this video is so much more than your everyday poem.
It is stunning, moving, and upsetting.
I takes your breath away and rushes through your body all at once.
Not a bad way to spend 3:30, eh?

  1. This has left me speechless. I'm trying to find a way to express how good this is.
    It covers so much, so well. It makes you FEEL with them. You feel the hopelessness. And the need for change.
    Thank you so much for posting this!

  3. Ugh! Man- that was powerful. This is part of the reason that I LOVE SLAM poetry. I have recently seen a lot of articles/videos etc. challenging the stereotypes associated with rape (mostly because I've been arguing with people about them, and I like to be well informed). With all of the legislation concerning rape and body autonomy, I think things like this are very relevant. Thanks for sharing.
