A sample of Slam Poetry by George Watsky:
Go Big, Young Friends
This is an entertaining and powerful piece of slam poetry. The message is clear - DO NOT BE AFFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE IN LIFE. It starts off illustrating this image of a weak, scared little boy with little confidence who is fearful of expressing himself and fulfilling his dreams. Then he gets all revved up and out of disgust and humiliation, he delivers this heated message of how he refuses to be fearful anymore, is not worried about what people think, and believes one should stand up and face their fears. The way in which he elevates his voice along with his body language enables this young man to deliver the most convincing, motivating, goose-bump speech ever!! I felt like running a marathon after, which is something I fear not being able to successfully complete.
