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.

Absolutely gorgeous, difficult, interesting poetry to read- I adore its cohesive structure back to the same overarching narrative - please read this book

Such beautiful writing. She makes you relate to every character and the darkness of their lives. We really do need to wake up and mend our planet and all other parts of a life. Such a poetic political statement.

I read this without initially knowing that it was written by a rapper? Now it kinda makes sense since I was totally envisioning Eminem rapping while I was reading it lol. Anyway, powerful stuff. Real and very raw.
