The show is coming to an end, but we will now call our last reader, who unfortunately couldn’t make it in person today. Zara Schuster is based in Los Angeles, California. She has been an artist for over 20 years, since her arrival in 2001, entrepreneur 2023, businesswoman 2024, and occasional activist. So I’m going to call her right now. I hope she’s going to pick up, but wait… Hey, hello, can you hear?

Zara

Hey, hello…

Emma

Talk, talk to the mic. Talk again.

Zara

Can everyone hear me?

Emma

Can everyone hear Zara?

MC

Hi. What’s up, bitches? Okay, so I’m going to be introducing the reader Zara Schuster. Zara Schuster for Propaganda. Who’s ready? Say you’re ready. Who’s ready to FUCK!

Emma

Woo.

MC

Fuck yeah. Okay, here we go. Here’s Zara Schuster.

All right, live from Los Angeles, we are Propaganda, a group that prefers to remain anonymous.

How can you, how do you, how can you get, how do you, how do you get up, how can you, how do you get up every day.

It’s 6:38 AM here, but that’s life, that’s life, that’s what all the people say, you’re riding high in April, shot down in May. But I know I’m gonna change that tune, when I’m back on top, back on top in June.

I said that’s life, that’s life, and as funny as it may seem, some people get their kicks stomping on a dream. But I don’t let it, let it get me down, ’cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin around.

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king. I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing. Each time I find myself flat on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race.

That’s life, that’s life, I tell you, I can’t deny it. I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain’t gonna buy it. And if I didn’t think it was worth one single try, I’d jump right on a big bird and then I’d fly.

I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king. I’ve been up and down and over and out and I know one thing. Each time I find myself laying flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race.

That’s life, that’s life, that’s life and I can’t deny it. Many times I’ve thought of cutting out, but my heart just won’t buy it. But if there’s nothing shaking, come this year July, I’m gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die.

Thanks, everyone.

Emma

Thank you so much, Zara.

Zara

It’s been an honour to read in person with you all today.

Emma

Thank you for being here. Thank you for travelling so far.
