Alok Vaid-Menon - Funeral

[@chloebingham6766]

"how many ghosts does it take for a cemetery to call itself a country?" literally said whoa out loud.

[@thisisbrendalegria]

Literally said woah out loud as well 😂

[@camillagunnarsson519]

Kudos for the Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Diyatthew Xenarper Idea (google it)? It is an awesome one off product for getting instant funeral poems without the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my buddy at very last got cool results with it.

What does that even mean? It doesn’t even make clever sense

[@adefunkebolatito3671]

Is it just me or is this spoken word hypnotic?

[@slcj2025]

This poem is from their chapbook Femme in Public. The entire thing is beautiful.

[@rosi3883]

What is a chapbook?

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Oh, Alok. I am so deeply touched by your thoughts, feelings, words, and your most powerful delivery of them. This is a beautiful, painful poem.

[@nannettehiller9520]

"I will not have a word for a type of loss that is so distant it is intimate." How brilliant to even call it that. ❤️

[@raecarlson9263]

At this moment, this poem hurts more than ever.

hard times create hard men, hard men create soft times, soft times create soft men.

[@davidpar2]

Hypocrites.

[@mathewgladden8914]

Why is he identifying others with a patriarchal gender binary construct? How does he know what they identify as? Most likely was mis-labeling them what a hypocrit

[@RajparaShubham]

Even though this neurotic drama of a human is repugnant ideologically and physically, it's spoken word and writing skills awe me.

[@cel9225]

That's rather rude, wouldn't you agree?

[@MAL341]

I’m sorry that you live with such contempt and disgust for another human being. A human being whose existence brings you neither harm nor hurt, but instead brought you beautiful, considerate words and a message of love and empathy. I’m sorry for you because you heard their message and still learned nothing. Bless your heart.

[@sainaboujallow3762]
