Hollywood dreams

My found poem would not upload on my blog post so I will write my poem out

Dream

I had Hollywood Dreams

I wanna flaunt

I wanna get rich

Gold

My dream my childish dreams

my childish way

Is it always as good as it seems

surely

How could you know?

How could you know?

My Poem was cut out and rearranged from the lyrics of J Coles “Tale of 2 cities”. As a fan of music who likes to analyze lyrics its hard to say J Cole isn’t one of the best when it comes to his writing. I tried to find words that made the most sense that also fit me and what I feel.

I followed the metaphor of the American Dream where the goal is to become wealthy and have a nice rich lifestyle. To make it to the top of the food chain. I wanted to stay away from the negatives in the song and talk about the things that he said that could be inspirational because as a person who is highly regarded such as J Cole, to follow your dreams is important. I believe this relates to Zong! in the way how there is a use of metaphor in it that relates to a bigger picture. I think most people could relate to my Found poem as American citizens. This assignment helped me better understand Zong! because doing a found poem myself made me put myself in the shoes of the writer.
