Hello, kind friends.
Today I'd like to talk about something funny that happened today. It brightened my day right up.
At my school, we have a thriving theater department filled with all the gems of the school. They always put on amazing productions. Their most recent venture is a play called Weight of Words. It's a show that illustrates the pains and dangers of bullying. It's extremely powerful...until one scene. A scene where the student body of a school go to congress and demand to be heard. So far so good. But it's how the choose to EXPRESS themselves to congress that's weird. They rap. Like, full on rap. With lines like, "My daddy always told me to keep my hands to myself, maybe he should take his own advice and listen to himself." Why. A rap. Gah.
Here I am, on the verge of tears. Wholly impressed by the talents of my peers. And then they rap. And I'm speechless. And then I slowly lowered my head and buried it in my hands. Good grief people. Here you are trying to show people how powerful bullying is, and right when you have us in the palm of your hand, you start RAPPING. I was so mad. Wow.
Anyway, that's all I have to say today.
Moral of the story is, if you're trying to get someone's attention in a powerful way, dont rap. C'mon.
