Let Them Eat Chaos by Kae Tempest

5.0

An engaging, dark, but revealing long poem from poet Kae Tempest .
Released in 2017 alongside it's excellent audio. Let Them Eat Chaos has been revealing the darkness of modern society before the world experienced it all in real time.
I remembered this poem throughout the last few years: mass shootings, the pandemic, George Floyd, the multiple conflicts in the middle east, Ukraine, forest fires... and on and on and on and on.
Let Them Eat Chaos isn't hopeless, it's just revealing the matter of our existence on this planet and the heavy price we pay to leave it as is.
