Every once in a while I come across some great work with Spoken Word. Yes it is Poetry. I feel this is also a form of expression that is similar to music. Some Spoken word is put along to music, slow tempo, upbeat, depending on the style. Other times it is still. Quiet or loud words that send powerful messages.

I feel it is similar to music because in ways of how much music has the vibes and the settings to what is needing or wanting to be told. Spoken word is such a great way to express things that normally cannot be actually said. Spoken word allows people to become engaged, use critical thinking, and empowered through their own voices. Not many people know what that is like.

I prefer to hear spoken word that allow the listener to understand what the artist is feeling. Having something to compare to or feel connected to. I enjoy knowing someone other than myself may be going through the same thing or actually feels something.

At this day and age it seems like most of the time we have to censor what we say and how we say it. Sometimes when things are said in a raw way it makes humans actually human.

Just listening can show you a different light on what is happening in the world, big or small.
