You're A Long Way From Home (part 3) |
| «These narratives of dispossession, of alienation, of violent resentment |
| «Resonate so strongly in modern popular youth culture |
| «Precisely because youth experience is replete with outrage, powerlessness» |
| He thought there’d be a lectern, like back at his uni |
| Instead the pimpled green government issue plastic of the chair under him |
| mockingly squeaks |
| Timed like a masterly fart to refute his analysis |
| The only faces still looking at him glaring patronising glee |
| Most don’t even care to see his undoing |
| «This voiceless, unarticulated, rage, more potent precisely because it remains |
| dumb |
| «Permeates the lyrics of modern rap artists» |
| Around him in the busted filth of the classroom |
| The circle of students seems to form into one late-adolescent face of sneered |
| rejection |
| «You calling Tupac dumb?» says the face |
| Their teacher, who invited him all the way out here to speak, immediately |
| stands up |
| But they didn’t need their 16 or 17 years of education in threat to sense the |
| man’s long-defeated anger |
| Outside from the car park reserved for guests to the school |
| You can faintly hear the almost routine scratching of duco |
| You’re a long way from home brainy boy |
