Peace and Greetings,
On Saturday, January 9 @ 3pm I went out to Nuyorican Poet Cafe on E. 3rd street to check out the poetry
audition for the UrbanWord/Knicks Poetry Slam.
It was a FULL house!
The environment was chill, positive, and safe with different age groups and ethinicities.
These talented young poets talked about hatred, love, being physically and emotionally abused, not knowing who their father is, being proud of their Dominican heritage, and how these facebooks and twitters are taking over our the human connection.
It was DOPE stuff!!
People were like laughing, snapping fingers, shaking their heads at the KNOWLEDGE that was being said..these gifted poets were speaking the TRUTH!
Oftentimes, adults underestimate the youth in thinking that don't know what's going on, but in actuality these adults need to LISTEN to the YOUTH.
It was my 1st time at Nuyorican Poet Cafe and I loved the comfort and energy of it.
Congratz to the poets that made it to the next round!!!
Pursue your DREAM and PASSION..don't let anything get in the way of your CRAFT.
Peace!
