Every other month we gather for our Spoken Word event. People are encouraged to share something special for the Spoken Word, whether it be a poem, short story, book passage, lyrics, or anything else that we find funny, interesting, or just a great read. This last Spoken Word event hit the year and a half mark and we are happy that this has turned into such a popular attraction.

Moving forward we will be blogging a Featured Piece from the Spoken Word. So, without further adieu, I will introduce a few pieces that were read this time around, and then we will share the featured piece. Enjoy!
Samantha Fleming – A poem written by Cary Grant that was submitted to Dear Abby

Alec – Finale from Theodor Adorno’s Minima Moralia
Zerina – A Poem of Friendship, by Nikki Giovanni

And now, our FEATURED WORK in full:

A Zap Rap
By: Amanda Cook

We'll say the Z is for the zoo that we've created
All the work anticipated
All those weird obsessions
And crazy self expressions

The A - Abundance
'Cuz you know we got it all
Keep risin' to the top,
But still, we love to fall

'Cuz that's where we learn,
Which brings me to the P
For progress - With no stress

Hard?
P-lease,
I'mma add another P
Just for them parties,
Yeah...

'Cuz work hard,
Play hard
That is how we roll
Z A P P
Brings me to the O
In WoW
Where it's all about the crowd -
The you
The me
The one big family
We're bringin' ripples of change
Further than we can see

A joke, a tear
A laugh, a bond
It all starts with you
We're bringin' smiles by the shoe

Powered by Service
I'll end it with S
An empire of strength
Humble, But the best.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Spoken Word. We drive the culture that we all live by and it is a beautiful thing!
