Exposing Politics Oscar Sanders

Poetry is the creative assessment of personal, political, societal observations, and lessons. Spoken word is the dramatic theatrical audio facsimile of those same observations and lessons using metaphors, impersonations, facial expressions, and inflections. Exposing Politics: A Collection of Poetry is a cache of mostly political spoken word poetry, some prose, a few remarks, and personal quotes-people familiar my solo pop-up performances or my plays have seen and heard in: Exposing Politics: A Play of Acts and Diplomacy: The Act of Listening Before You Speak. Dubbed the Dick Gregory and Paul Mooney of spoken word, Oscar Sanders' heartbeat bellows though this book!Exposing Politics points fingers at the systems and processes that manifest and harvest inequality and discrimination in America and globally using spoken word as the catalyst! Exposing describes through the modality of spoken word poetry, a litany of real life examples of bigotry and racism unleashed upon people of color. Meditate. Contemplate. Laugh. Cry. Enjoy! In the end, it's entertainment! Oh, and education.-Oscar Sanders
