[Christian7thSF]

Felt like I was in Youth group lol

[cokane0991]

What does shake the dust mean exactly?

[drpdeeznutz]

@cokane0991 "Dust" in the old testament resembled defeat and despair, things like that, so I guess it's self explanatory from there

[arguetac33]

Hillsong United 'Hossana.. thats the music playing with Anis's poem.. i like the concept.. ppl stop hating on the music..

[AleXanDriA707]

@jambut shes standing up for what she belives in, so i think its very mature. where as your the inmature one for calling her imature. just makes you look like a fool.

[sugarmagnolia787]

This is just great. This made my day.

[benbirdy]

[zenofskittles]

[shinjax]

Hosanna - Hillsong.. Am I right? :D

[The29thStreet]

[Saruhh93]

Him and Andrea Gibson came to our school and performed for our Creative writing class. Their performances changed my life, (:

[Mypinkhope14]

If you liked this, listen to Sarah Kays poem "If I should have a daughter" I performed her poem at my schools talent show this year. I am going to do this one this year :)

[charlotteecc12]

The music is what makes it for me.

[steelbutterflies]

This poem gave me shivers as I listened to it.....Awe inspiring ...I loved it ♥ !

[TheMallenby]

This is just amazing.

[EstoyLigado]

[Wildlybamboozled]

@EstoyLigado Yes. xD

[JeanPlaisance]

@EstoyLigado Absolutely. Kill yourself. (I'm kidding.)

[randomheartake]

So many tears and no Idea why. So moving. I love this. I love you.

[aldfjkalsdfj]

TAKE OFF THE MUSIC! IT'S DISTRACTING

[Pazma1]

Meh!

[MeaghanAlexandra]

I cried.

[spoikins]

28 people didn't like this guy's voice

[singana1]

get rid of that muzak, it ruins the piece

[OGUIEEZY]

This poem makes me wanna marry a poet.

[AtheistActivist]

This was going to be pretty good until it got all jesusy

[loserbiotch2]

any poem that begins, "this is for the fat girls"

[YamsPickard]

Hey @jaydenshea is it possible for you to send me the font for the "Shake the dust" at 30 seconds. I'm actually getting a shake the dust tattoo and I really love the way it looks. Thanks mate :)

[jangtank]

i don't really like the music. it robs the whole atmosphere mojgani creates.

[corijay13]

I watch this video atleast 5 times a day, I just cant get enough of it!

I'm a novice slam poet & I know I'll never be this great but I hope to be close :]

[MANLINK2000]

MAN I RAPED THE REPLAY

[001ritinha]

I know all of this by heart now. I recite it all the time when I'm alone. It's so beautiful.

[MrConnorGwin]

I think its a reference to Isaiah 52:2 more than a reference to Matthew.

[lightningspark910]

HOSANNA!!!!!!! i <3 that song :DDDDDD the poems awesome too

[shandreyna]

Hi - where is the music from? Can I get a copy from somewhere?

[doobwell]

@shandreyna This is the song "Hosanna" by Hillsong United... however this is an instrumental version of it.

[smilelikealoser]

is there a script of this?

[smilelikealoser]

is there a script of this?

[FireVoa]

This guy's a fucking douchebag



[HarlemManeuvers]

amazing

[bs403]

so how many people actually know what this means?

[Fellowshipofthening]

@bs403 I never quite understood it until a week ago, when I showed it to a friend who is afraid cause she´s leaving school. I told her it was about embracing change, and I realized I had just realized that. It´s about shaking the dust that collects over your joints with time, to all those people who have given up or are about to, he tells them not to. He says that even you shake with fear, you should the door when something new shows up, and open your arms to receive it.

[mariofan1986]

some true shit ..good story bro

[DavidTanisDreams]

StumbleUpon to sub in 4 minutes. That's a record for me.

[emopigscanfly]

so beautiful. 

[GunZPure]

I listen to this everyday like it's a song



[shaimaafadly]

<3 love it

[brightaiedail]

honest to death, that might be my favorite poem ever.

[MrSlimshady03]

What's the song called ?

[deepdarkanddangerous]

i can't even know how many times i've watched this, it truly speaks to me and makes me want to do good =]

[HeatherLaughsALot]

Honest to death, this made me cry. It was amazing and i shall share it with everyone i know.

[dareDGAF]

This poem opened my eyes, Only because I finally know there is someone out there who thinks as I do. So I thank you for this poem.

[kcjeraslaitiniym]

@dareDGAF I... wrote a response to this... but it was too many characters haha. so I'm going to send it to you in a message =]

[apatel892]

i can't listen to this without tearing up

[comeatmebroski]

Eh. Buddy Wakefield does it better.

[electro676]

Words and intent are good. But it makes me sad that we live in a world where people still need a god to justify why they are alive.

[SuperKaylanne]

21 people know nothing!



[charlotteecc12]

This video is just perfect.

[18and]

in Matthew is written, that jesus says to the apostles: " And whoever will not receive you not hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet".

[ItsYourBlood]

For all the haters who cant appreciate an exquisite flow of words sending a message to the human inside you.. If you refer to a powerful poem with a positive message as "philosophical bullshit", you're obviously a complete fucking moron.. YOU'RE the dust that needs shaking...

[malkymaru]

this was so cool thanks stumble button!!

[ItsYourBlood]

@malkymaru Me too! And it was totally worth it..

[jaydenshea]

@skslammer1 only hipsters watch this video, bro.

[dcily]

@skslammer1

you"re just jealous cause he's got a following.

[alec006a15]

@skslammer1 youre an ignorant fuckhead brah.

[XxEnviousxSinnerxX]

I'm so glad he wrote this. Its absolutely beautiful. Truly inspiring. <3 :)

[Xetarcoss]

NAME OF THE SOOONG!!!1 please=)

[MultiSammyKins]

i like this and the music too. the music adds to the overall mood of the peom. very nice <3

[xShawnutsx]

The music adds a wonderful touch, the words; not so much. I wouldn't have added them.

But it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it, nonetheless.

[001ritinha]

For the two year olds who cannot be understood because they speak half English half god.

[PirateTucker02]

For the ones amendments do not stand up for.

[chrizcrozz]

the music uplifts

[chdogg12345]

For the girls who love somebody else. For the midnight bike riders trying to fly. For the tired, and for the dreamers.

[hittingthekeys]

The 2 year olds who can't be understood because they speak half english, half God

[discoverMC]

music ruined it

[daphneisthebest]

I thought the music fit

[whatthedew]

19 people can't shake the dust.

[beozer]

For the girl who loves someone else

[crisjoy7]

Such a beautiful spirit.

[pushelildaisies]

Thanks for this.

[korybeach]

This was a great poem. I didn't like the music, though.

[boynameddavid]

I shiver when I watch this.

[TheDramaBomb]

celibate pedophiles who keep on struggling lol.

[cuddlewumpus]

Joeytabs, you're a bad troll in a positive place. Shut the fuck up before a 2 year old curses you out in half God and then you'll look like a pussy. Shut the fuck up before the insecurities that are making you try to make people mad get put up on youtube.

[joeytabs2010]

@cuddlewumpus cool story bro..... shake the dust!!!!!

[joeytabs2010]

Garbage................. Mommy should have shook you. Braindead hipster... Cool story, bro.

[ninjalazer23]

@joeytabs2010 umad?

[JediApostle23]

For the girl who loves somebody else.

Familiar, profound, and beautiful.

[Jentastic26]

for the fat chicks, shake the dust.

thanks man I just might.

[AtticParty]

weak.

[ImInLoveWithSharpies]

I want 'shake the dust' tattooed on somewhere on my body.

This is wonderful.

[juliaCSL]

thank you.

[cupcakewhore666]

I love this! It makes me smile and cry at the same time. Its so moving and beautiful

[SunAndRain15]

Poetry was really good, but the corny background music kind of killed it.

[bkalla3904]

and open on up, fingertips trembling though they may be <3

im about to change my college major because of you, i will now follow my dreams.

thank you anis.

[PsyberKayos]

eh. It was okay. Didn't really like it though. I've heard a lot better poetry with the exact same message so...

[dtormon07]

This speaks volumes to me. I have "Shake the Dust" tattooed on my back now. Part of the "t" on "dust" has a koru which is a spiral that represents new journeys and new beginnings.

[zenofskittles]

he has smiling eyes (: they make me happy.

[prittypawz713]

very nice

[silarydoveface]

I think I would enjoy this more if it weren't for the guitar noodling in the background.

[drumwrist0123]

This video makes me so sad, because I seek help in just about every body I meet, and I can still not yet find myself. I love god, I believe in god, bu why must I follow this road of dirt, and thorn. My feet are tired and bruised. Cut, and blistered, it's about time I receive a change in my life.

[Nicholas339]

deserves more views

[NYCbound]

what is this song called??

[gogo165]

@NYCbound

hosanna by hillsong

[austenjmack]

Anis, check out some Buddy Wakefield, and shake the dust

[TheOctocornNetwork]

Cool poem, but why does the music have to be so bland and sappy?

[superduperdurkadurk]

I can't stand his speech pattern. I'm sorry. But it was extremely difficult to concentrate on his weird jewish christopher walken style of talking.

[zenofskittles]

this could not have a better ending line.

[sevincakay1]

@joeytabs2010 ı agree with you!

[radguy66]

@sevincakay1 Did you only make an account to agree with a comment that's gotten disliked so much that it's hidden? Come on man, you're doing it wrong.

[RobyHawkins]

@joeytabs2010 learn2emotion.  Also, cool story bro

[xhehe23]

an amazing video

and an amazing poem

it's a great inspireation, keep makeing poetry and keep on being who you are :)

[Genieinus]

@slickon he has another poem called 'Fisherman' - it will all make perfect sense, watch it :)

[slickon]

I don't understand the fisherman line (leave before the fisherman returns). Anyone get it?

[huuuullaend]

This sucks. Totally stupid

[radguy66]

@huuuullaend Cool, your opinion TOTALLY matters.

[huuuullaend]

@radguy66 Not saying it does, just thought I'd share with you that this is kinda stupid...

[radguy66]

@huuuullaend Well seeing as you're one of a very few negative comments, it seems quite demeaning to the creator and the 10,000 + viewers that enjoy it, so you are the one that looks dumb right now. If you don't like the video, go look at something else instead of bring down ratings.

[lanerant]

@huuuullaend nicely ignorant back-peddling!

[Robot300]

@huuuullaend here is my question. if it sucks and is totally stupid,why did you search this up and watch it then????

[rowenamarion]

I know I recognize the song used in the background, but I can't place it...I keep thinking it's something I sang in church a while back...

OMG, is it Hossana by Hillsong? 

[xexpressxyourselfx]

absolutely beautiful.

[carleejonesss]

Best thing I've probably ever stumbled upon

[simplythemediocre]

Bastard managed to crack my shell, nearly cried.

[LordGustave]

this is poetry.

[icedfiredragon]

I wasn't even sure what this was. I watched it and I absolutely LOVE it. I'll be sharing this with everyone I come in contact with that has 4minutes to give. It's absolutely inspiring to anyone and everyone. I feel a spirit in me lifted already. Share this with anyone having a bad day. Give someone hope. One day, one person, one moment at a time.

[pulesekk]

fucking awesome

[bzzbzzbee]

this is very cool! :)

*maybe making the background music a little softer next time?*

Other than that, very cool.

[Sanguin3H3art]

so inspirational..

[kasooie]

Dude that was amazing, can´t believe you could choose such a perfect song

[jaydenshea]

@projectbeard It's great to see that you enjoyed this! I see this isn't in your favorites along with your Insane Clown Posse and Limp Bizkit videos...

[radguy66]

@projectbeard @jaydenshea BOOM... roasted

[GaroMaster1337]

@jaydenshea It's in my favorites. (=

[ContoursOfReality]

Is this really what poetry has become? Seriously? This is a pathetic excuse for creative language. He has said nothing that I haven't heard a million times before.

[RandomStudios7]

@ContoursOfReality Go take your midol and sleep it off. It'll be over in about 4-5 days.

[theSecondOneOfMe]

@projectbeard If u don't like this, then why are you watching it??? You are ridiculous.

[DegrassiLover418]

So Inspiring <3 I love this video! I love this speech <3

[coldpickle]

Hey Jayden. I was looking for this video and I had no idea that this was edited by you initially. I found an uneditied version first and it didn't have nearly as much of an impact. Great music, and great editing. The constant flashing of "shake the dust" is almost as reaffirming as his words. You really did a good job, so that's all I got.

[CoUrAgE040586]

Amazing... more people should have this love in their hearts! Thank you for your inspiration <3

[williaminniss]

I like this, as it is a spiritual message concealed in a simple secular delivery.

Traditionally, the Dust symbolizes a state of defeat and despair in OT.

Shake off your dust!

[projectbeard]

so fucking gay, anyone who enjoys this is a huge gaping vagina of a human being

[RandomStudios7]

@projectbeard Douche

[Gillybean43]

@projectbeard ASS. HOLE.

Inspired.
