This is not polite verse.12 Volts of Eccentricityis an abrasive, high-voltage transmission from a world suffering total chaos and community meltdown. With a darkly comic voice, Darren Hobson dismantles everything from the lie of the American Dream to the stupidity of modern consumerism.
He spares nothing and refuses to tidy up the truth. The collection unloads on global failure, detailing the madness ofMoney Moulds A Messy Mindset, the self-inflicted wounds that occurWhen Extinction Becomes Extinct, and the anxiety of living under theGlass Weight Of Expectation. This is a relentless jolt intoa reality where history is manipulated, the planet is poisoned, and we are forced to confront the question:Who Is Having The Last Laugh On The Last Day?
If a poem here feels uncomfortable, confusing, or strangely familiar, it is doing exactly what it was written to do. It is showing you what's left when comfort and illusion fall away.
Prepare to be plugged in to reality. Prepare to be shocked by twelve volts of uncompromising eccentricity.
