Wow - just. Well said. I did research on Branden after seeing him in OISTNB as a CO. He's aged well, but finding this video helps me understand how/why he is an Emmy winning spoken word poet. Amazing 4 minutes and I'm grateful I found this. I hope to continue finding new works of art by this gentleman.

Honestly, A younger me was very curios about the duplicities in our everyday world. When I was writing it i spent most of the time looking for the contrast of each stanza. I found approach to be the right vein in helping me construct the piece. By the time i was midway through it seemed as if there was no end to the opposites so I had to narrow it down to what was important to me and what may be important to most of us. If you set out to fix every problem, you'll fix none. But if we each make the most of ourselves, we can now approach the world around us with a more full version of ourselves. And if each of us do our part, we can change the communities we live in by changing ourselves.

We had a lav and a boom. Recorded under the brooklyn bridge in Dumbo before it was fully developed. NYC is a naturally noisey place, so even with a LAV there was still some background noise. I dropped the audio into "Cool Edit Pro" now known as Adobe Audition, and did my best to edit out most of the background noise using a noise reduction filter and mixing the eq's. The music bed was helpful in masking some of the noise as well.

It's called divide and conquer.....blue and red.... Democrat and Republican... Jesus and Satan.... The ringer is always the same no matter the level and it's killing the soul... That's what the ringer is.......Jesus is the dragon chasing it's tail (Eternity) Lord of the rings Baal. You have all been decieved. Read the Bible and look at the church they never match because their root their word was a lie.......I hate giving bad news but in the end when everything is gone and your standing their all alone all you have left is you WORD.....
