Stephen James Smith: Typography Kinetic: Spoken Word Poem: 'Signing Your Life Away' Irish Poet

[DwiteTheSpriteKnight]

I love the last line.

[mrstephenjamessmith]

@DwiteTheSpriteKnight haha, funny that technically it isn't the last line! the video editor made it that way, there is a bit more to go but he didn't have time to finish it, search for Signing Your Life Away by me and you will hear it all.

excellent poem, memories of signing on in thomas street before i decided to leave the country in 97. they sure did look down their noses. it was a horrible feeling going up there. touch wood i won't be back in that situation again. but thousands are. in any way, cheers G

[mrstephenjamessmith]

@poemsfromanexiled thanks chief! I hope you won't be either, and good luck to them other poor souls!

[mrstephenjamessmith]

@Contemplative2k9 thanks for your words, it is not actually the whole poem as it happens just a taster!

i take it you are not Irish then... a P45 is a document you get from the government / your employer when you loss your job.

beautiful ! excellent ! yes we are now hedging towards a nazidom government. How did this happen ah yes greed ego and corruption, media manipulation and the people who wont get of their arses and do something about it. They only notice when its happening to them lol.

Did i say this was a great vid? At least we have freedom of speech ? I wonder when they will start taxing our words !lol Ya'll have to start stealing from the rich

or perhaps eat them !

[mrstephenjamessmith]

@sarah1ooo1 haha, very zeitgeist of you! thanks for your ears!

[sarah1ooo1]

@mrstephenjamessmith You are more than welcome ! zeitgeist ? There is nothing 'conspiracy theory' about the corruption / double standards that goes on in politics. Either in government or local government. I've been on the planet long enough to see how the shady bastards work ! Its a disgrace we all know about. I remember my history do you remember yours. The irish were not fighting the british public who had no power anyway they were fighting the british government and the thief aristocracy

[teteroom]

Very excellent! I don't understand the words, but it doesn't matter.

[mrstephenjamessmith]

@teteroom haha thanks but I think or hope it might add something!
