The Flood - Spoken Word Piece
Voice A (Softly)
My car broke the dam
And the rain just kept coming down
Adding to the flood
Coming down
Voice B (Calm but louder than A)
A surge runs through the crowd
Knocking everyone to the floor
And I stand alone
Craving something more
Voice A
My car broke the dam
And the rain just kept coming down
Adding to the flood
Coming down
Voice B (slightly louder and more hysterical than before)
The more things change
The more I stay the same
The louder I shout
The more I am to blame
Voice A
My car broke the dam
And the rain just kept coming down
Adding to the flood
Coming down
Voice B (louder and more exacerbated)
The eternal flame
I cast aside
In favor of a light
That has a dark side
Voice A
My car broke the dam
And the rain just kept coming down
Adding to the flood
Coming down
Voice B (Loud and increasing to a shout, very panicked)
Trapped on a sea
Of endless possibilities
And the only thing I ask for
Is some solidarity
I am drowning!!!
Voice A
My car broke the dam
Voice B
I am drowning!
Voice A
And the rain just kept coming down
Voice B (soft plea)
I am downing.
Voice A
Adding to the flood
Coming down
