as a Canadian living in a small town, I forget how fortunate I am not to live in such violence. my heart cries and bleeds for these lost souls cut down before their time. As a mother I cry and as a human a weep. No one should live with the fear of death!

[JamesEyeView]

[Tank122103]

Who ever dislikes this is a confused white kid who could never understand what they are talking about so if don't understand don't do shyt to it

[dancergirl131]

Yep, definitely crying...

[lovelilovesyou55]

i cried!!!

[msalah2341]

this is the truth 

[cayterr]

tears dude... that was inexplicable

[2fine4u94]

How Many Deaths Before This Is Considered Genocide ?

That's A Damn Good Question .

Powerful .

[Natashaduhh]

Speechless.

[Karcel28]

3 people have no heart!

[monty808]

wake up people......american idol, dwts, the kardashians........this is reality....

[Tank122103]

Everyone they are talking about was shot down unjustly in Chicago where crimes like this is never solved

[MsJayWright]

@condiersea, I'm sorry about what you go through but damn. He was right in what he said and that's just the truth. They never said that 'race' would get them killed, they said that their AGE would have them killed by Monday. And in all actuality, how many people of color who experience the same of these victims really make the news? I can count on one hand. I'm glad someone did point out that this crime is becoming genocide! But hey, who am I to say

[gottaluvaklutz]

chills ... 

[dolly15rox]

and in the 14 days it took us to write this, we had to add more names to this list!!

powerful

[AmyMely1418]

[duraccelb]

fucking load of bollocks

[LNScutie]

Gave me goosebumps!

[ladyshi09]

omg this is so tru i really wanted to cry ppl need to watch this

[nenechicka]

woah! its just at 1:07 and i got chills. this is deep!

[condiersea]

great poem. its just makes me kind of upset that they always have to mention race. that every white person is safe. that we always have it good. im white and im from Chicago and people die in my neighborhood too.

[rianrobot]

@condiersea I understand and I'm sorry that people die in your neighborhood but to say that black people are dying is not to say that white people aren't..

[condiersea]

@rianrobot i guess thats true. but i suffer a lot of "reverse" racism at my school and im kinda hypersensitive to it.

[rianrobot]

@condiersea I'm sorry that happens to you :(

[5tefbuck]

:'( BRAVO BRAVO!

[GuyWhoWantsRecon1215]

I love the line "I'm 18! I play pick-up basketball games with ghosts!" amazing stuff ..

[FreakinggFeliciaa]

I swear the first time I watched this I had tears in my eyes. This is so POWERFUL. My favorite line was, "Because every intersection can become Virginia Tech." <3.

[MiyahandAashiaShow]

Anybody that dislikes this does NOT understand ANYTHING you guys are saying

[01choicelover]

"how many deaths would it take before this considered genocide?" Chills & tears all over! My God, save our children!!!!

[bluegirl451]

I stand what feel may the souls that did those sins be healed Amen

[Chinaboo94]

WOW. I have chills runnning up and down my body. This poem spoke the truth.

[rianrobot]

shivering, hair standing up on my arms, face warm, about to cry and i've seen this about 13 times before. i've never seen a poem captivate me emotionally as much as this. i really wish this (what they're talking about) would stop.. it really isn't fair and shouldn't happen..

[meezymillionz]

if people weren't so ignorant and stupid, rolling up on people just because the color clothes/hats/shoes that people wear, and claim streets that they have no fucking rights to then poems like this will never need to be written and presented.

[trixykid2514]

This is one of the most powerful poems that I ever heard. Gave me goosebumps as I listened to it...As I listened to an unfortunate truth.

[SweetSince94]

I love this poem over the past few days I have listened to it repeatedly. It touched me. Knowing that I can relate to this I broke down in tears. I have lost too many people I loved to to barrel of a gun. This touches my heart like no other poem has ever done. Praying for God to put an end to kids my age not even living to see 21 and I'm only 16

my love and respect goes out Thank You guys for this
