Poets
of the
Second Renaissance
in the
Cosmopolitan Skyline
Northern California is undergoing a purification period.
Within this purification begins the second renaissance. A renewal of art and consciousness has arrived beneath the fog of San Francisco. The Sun must rise and fall leaving a trace of the cosmopolitan skyline. In such a diverse setting the inevitable is obvious. Out with the old and in with the new. Old traditions are vanishing as The American melting pot has allowed San Francisco to flourish with such a diverse integrated effort. This is most reflective in the current presidential election.
Almost one third of bay area residents have felt the effect of the modern economy. Home owners invest their blood and sweat within their homes as an unconventional savings account. Homes turns in to tombs as retires are stripped from their entitlement. The second renaissance is upon us. Change and reform are taking place within the metropolis. The cycle begins like this; High mortgage rates, Job loss, and then Riga mortise of funds. When the money begins to freeze all are affected. Theft, Murder, and Mortgage fraud infect the community at an alarming rate. When the property value goes down crime goes up. This systematic inhalation of low income homes sent investors salivating like vultures among the dying casualties. In your home today and evicted tomorrow is common. Banks screen borrowers, choosing investors providing a grey area for under table deals. W.U.R.M. dwells amongst the homeless who were once part of a prosperous business class. People now live in tents, mobile homes, or in the streets unable to let go of the California sunshine. Don’t go blind. Life is short and as beautiful as it may seem the bay area holds many dark secrets. In the days of the gold rush fathers left their family in search of the big break. Things have not changed a bit. Individuals still walk the streams and rivers in search of a speck of gold.
The Bay area encompasses an array of artist with a unique style of their own. These are the poets of the second renaissance in the cosmopolitan skyline. Only W.U.R.M. has the ability to be so diverse with originality to master this style. Ghost ride the whip, getting hyphy does not step outside of the bay area walls but is the only means of communication understood by the locals. If it doesn’t have that bay area stamp on it doesn’t exist in Northern California. W.U.R.M. is able to blend in with new age poets and go undercover to expanding the underground market.
