Woody and the Kids
Apparently Woody Harrelson is not only a “hemp” activist, but a spoken word performer:
“…Morality is legislated
prisons over-populated
religion is incorporated
the profit-motive has permeated all activity
we pay our government to let us park on the street
And war is the biggest money-maker of all
we all know missile envy only comes from being small…”
Check out the full piece (with visual accompaniment).
Speaking of the spoken word, here are a couple of performances featuring Seattle writers coming up in the near future:
