The poem “Moves to Shock” was inspired by a Twitter posting by @EmMcchrystal that stated “Being me is actually so funny. Imagine. Being me. You could never. You would all DIE of SHAME being me. I am so powerful to still exist even tho I’m the most embarrassing entity to ever live on this earth.”

Listen to poem:

There are two ways this could go when the measure has been resolved of whether nature moves to shock or boredom is the end result shame is assumed without proof humiliation only found with a result that mortifies death by variety that fills a life while reality says otherwise tedium becomes the norm apathy fills the void when existence is switched about the latter is the sad result embarrassment put aside in diversity the truth is known comparisons become too trite.
