TikTok Poet's 'The PROGRAM' Explores Societal Control Through Powerful Metaphors

Boston-based spoken word poet Kid Pyramid (@kydpyramid) uses their latest video, "The PROGRAM," to explore the pervasive nature of societal control. The poem uses powerful imagery of programming and division to depict how systems manipulate individuals. "The programming's been assigned, aligned to misdirect and confine," Pyramid says, highlighting the manipulative nature of information. While the video's themes are complex, its use of accessible language and imagery makes it relatable to a wide audience. The video's relatively small view count (65) suggests potential for increased popularity and media attention.
