Differences between spoken & written poem?
The poem itself seems to be a comment on society today in the oral form, yet it seemed to have a deeper meaning in the other form. It seemed to become more of a critique of society; it questioned why society has become this way and how did it get there?
Spoken word allows the privelege of the speaker to heavily infuse his/her own intentions and meaning into the words spoken.
The textual writing space presented the words as a conversation- questions addressed to everyone (the audience) that are intended not to be answered, but to be responded to with action, with change. The textual writing space transforms the spoken word into a call for action (engagement) rather than just a passing comment.
