Radio Free Middle East

I wrote this piece recently. It was a nice late-night burst of creativity based (loosely) on the radio messages broadcasted from America into Nazi Europe in World War II. Thanks for tuning in. (Ha Ha)

I'm so glad EM sent this my way! This is wonderful, and the staccato drumbeat drives home the intensity of the message. This could be a great performance piece! I wish it could be sent to all persons in national and international leadership positions.

LOVE IT! Enough said.

[Jenny Davis]

Definitely a beat poem, IMHO. This is fantastic...we are all the same, looking for peace, water, food, love and shelter...but the lines are so blurred from a distance...excellent stuff :)

[The Archangel Gabriel]

Great piece!

"Humanity Sucks..."

"Sometimes..."

No kidding!

Wow... absolutely wonderful. I really loved this piece. It reads stacotto like an old Beat poem called forth over the waves of jazz music proclaiming truth for all the world to hear. So well done!!!
