The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

Music: Scott Buckley - What We Don't Say (copyright free)
Speaker: Tom O' Bedlam (SpokenVerse)
Full poem:
your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

This is very great. The music is very good!

Tom O'Bedlam's voice is the perfect voice for Bukowski. I won't listen to any Bukowski if it's not Tom performing it. Besides Bukowski, of course.
