  • saw this guy live at #bankofideas. Amazing stuff : )

  • didnt expect that accent lol still cool

  • very clear,nicely done :)

  • Awesome.

  • freakishly amazing!

    almost as good as the matrix reloaded

  • Oh I know.. The borrower is servent to the lender (proverbs) . monetary reform is the ONLY way to stop feeding the beast.

  • Good seed...lets make it grow!

  • Out of the box pt2

    ...Are you who you wanted to be? What in mirrors do you see? It’s never too late to grasp your Soul, And realize your special goal... That love in all we say and do, Is all you need to get you through... To a peace of mind that won’t deny, The answers to the question WHY? I tell you this because I know, That what we reap is what we sow.

  • Out of the box pt1

    Everyone is awake and so many asleep, Few that dream and fewer that keep. The world is a place to express your Soul, Acquisition is not the primary goal. You want joy and peace of mind? You want a bliss that won’t hurt or bind? It is easier than you think once you know, The way your mind works is how your life will grow. How is it now for you? Are you doing the dream you yearned to do? Or are you stuck in a patterns track? Trying to find your way back?

  • Occupy.

  • yep

  • Love your work, man!

  • Will they awaken or just keep on bakin & fakin life that they takin all the while sayin that someone else be the failin..... just sayin.

  • Everything this man has said from first to last is absolutely true.

    Poetry=truth

    truth=knowledge

    knowledge=power

    Lets all be powerful in our own right.

  • super like!!

  • Let's all fuck the matrix! Our thoughts GIVE THE ENERGY FOR MATRIX TO EXIST. When you stop your mind is when you wake up from the matrix. Standing up from the sleep / living dead / thinking is waking up. The human as organic robots.

  • microloans. read banker for the poor. M Yunus

  • this guy is nice but hes asleep to the matrix as well... life is the matrix itself.

    when u die is when u wake up from the matrix.

    life is just a dream

    =)

    so when can i start dodging bulletes?

  • Please share more. It's been four years. People are waking up.

  • Brilliant!! Blessed Love <3

  • Awesomne :)

  • 12 people are still in matrix. The only thing missing is ALL should close out their bank accounts. Thank you rodneyparadox for making this video and speaking the truth for other to hear!!!!

  • I have know for over a decade.. it's exactly, EXACTLY how he says it!

    It's worse than you think, we're all screwed..

    keep spreading the word! there's no time to waste!

  • You're brilliant man! :)

    Your poem started tears in my eyes... Amazing! It is simply the best synthesis of the entire world in poem form!!!

    Can you please give me a copy of it so I can translate it to Portuguese? ;)

  • awesome stuff, what's ur full name ?

  • hey man, your a great poet =D

  • We dance like marionettes, swaying to the symphony of destruction. Megadeth was right on the money. Literally. I agree with much of what he says, but what can be realistically done about it? Stand up to them? Is that realistic? Do you happen to have an army of 50 million people armed with all the latest in military hardware and nuclear weapons? No. The American Indians were a brave bunch of souls, but their bravery only brought them to the brink of extinction. Maybe that is why they were spared.

  • i wish i knew more people like you. Brilliant!

  • Inspirational!

  • You're absolutely awesome! Thank you for this

  • Powerful! Art that goes straight to heart

  • What happend in argentina?

  • wow this is good man, respect

  • One word: Brilliant!

  • love this! Thank-you

  • astonishing

    

  • All that needs to happen is that every person in this world, in every country, EVERYWHERE, stops recognizing their country's currency. Stop entertaining money, full stop. If everyone did that at exactly the same time, it would unequivocally screw the bankers and the rich so far up their own back sides, it would be game over for sure. But we all know that isn't going to happen, because most people are so helpless, so dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. Major bummer, huh?

  • @parkamark since that will never happen how about we just have our governments say screw you private bank. Were going to issue our own currency without debt. Have the money serve the people rather than the people serve the money!

  • @jdurnal The governments are part of the same system of control. In fact, I think the banks are actually ABOVE governments (it has always been said to me that it is not governments which control the world, it is the big corporations, right?). As for money and people, if you've ever watched any of John Harris's videos, his take on things is people (you & I) of the system are the currency (money). We are all slaves. Which stems back to what I said. Stop feeding the system and it will fall.

  • awesome!!!! I want to hear more of your work!

  • Love this...a creative genius speaking truths!!

  • Thank you for all you comments. It still amazes me that this poem a) continues to be relevant (sadly) b) continues to inform and inspire people...as it is now 8 years old and I hardly ever perform any more! Thank you so much for your kind words ;)

    ps As for the laughable debate about the "Galactic Federation" I'm afraid in your rush to accuse me of being "had", you have missed the actual point of the poem (Humans are Heroes) which is "We Are The Ones We've Been Waiting for" (not ET) geddit?

  • BOOOM.......wow

  • Wonderful expression of truth...rhythmic and so clear> Thank you for posting and please keep on. I look forward to hearing much more from you...

  • The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

  • this is a masterpiece

  • but remember guys morphous aint going to come nocking at your door! you have to wake your self up :)

  • @monstarmatt Your right, everyone needs to wake up!... Time is running out, and the evil, corrupt governments are still fighting to keep their control. BUT don't worry, they have slipped up, some of the "Truth" has slipped through, and now the people have seen a glimpse of what is really happening, and it's VERY BAD. But don't worry, everyone can solve this problem, it's up the the people NOW!. Take back the not just the COUNTRY... But the WORLD..... The governments FEAR you now.. YOU can win!

  • you have a gorgeous voice, and this poem is so eloquently shared. thank you for the message; RIGHT ON!

  • would love to see another video like this, is there going to be another one?

  • amazing, some talent that guys got!

  • Wonderfull!! :))

  • 9 viewers don't have a clue

  • GReat! this is superb and con gratulations...

  • Truth touches the soul...this is amazing

  • Great Job!

  • Probably the most awesome thing I've ever heard.

  • brilliant

  • re humans are heroes...rodney...sorry mate...i love your poems but the truth is...the galactic federation/ashtar command, 12 wisdom keepers,tribe of many colours, rainbow warriors, project camolot, project avalon, disclosure project are all connected and heavily financed by same bankers/ nwo=project blue beam...so on the galactic fed point...you've been had...sorry to have to say it so bluntly but open to debate it with you if you don't agree.

  • @angellambbridetv Why would a galactic federation need to be financed?

  • @P4k4er exactly my point...because it isn't...its a psy op...another elitist hoax.

  • @angellambbridetv I use to talk to all these angels and shit, but they have no affect on this reality. Prove me wrong.

  • @P4k4er wrong about what? that you talk to angels?...not my business, that your angels have no effect?.. they're.your angels, so only you would know that...can't help you there..

  • @angellambbridetv I see what your saying, i misread your comment, apologies. but does rodney beleive in all that galactic federation stuff? I think he made the point of how bankers have us by the you know what, which i agree with. And in a way we have all been had.

  • @P4k4er no apology needed...thanks though..i agree with you...i love his poems like i said but in the video poem...humans are heroes ...he claims affiliation with the dalactic federation...and i'm sure its innocent on his part..i doubt hes a disinfo agent but he's just bought into this elaborate hoax...which is easy to do ...until you examine their propaganda under a microscoop...listen to all the galactic fed supposed daily communications really listening to what they say.yes we all been had.

  • @angellambbridetv Ye I agree, Its smart of the elite to create this back up deception for people that don't believe in the more obvious deceptions. I use to be such a believer in the galactic federation. but its stupid really. Even if the galactic fed did exist. I would want nothing to do with them, I mean i dont think anyone would want to meet some beings from another world that wont directly help us with the millions starving on earth.

  • @P4k4er yes, indeed...they are like a sorcerer with a good guy puppet on one hand and a bad guy puppet on the other...and while the more alert among us are focussed on the bad guy puppet the good guy puppet is moving in to place to steal the show...they did it in ww2 creating the problem: hitler, then waiting for the reaction that had to come as the truth of the holocaust leaked out then rode in as saviors with their solutions which proffited only them and increased their power and cover.

  • @angellambbridetv If there were aliens out there we would know about them on a global scale... its as simple as that... I feel sorry for people and for the person i use to be... it seems logical that were not alone but i think in this matrix we are....

  • Excellent! Thank you.

    Sharing wide! ;)

  • LOVE THIS!!

  • follow poet Paradox on twitter @Paradox_Poet36

  • Bloody Brilliant!!!

  • If you want to see the truth to what he is saying including undeniable evidence of the fact you are living a lie please go to powercrossing com

  • great poetry bud

  • The Dali Lama and other spiritual leaders can see farther than that but what they see is blurry. Reminds of a line from a Dylan song " There's something happening here but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr.Jones".

  • There are at least 8 Agents that have watched this.

  • This guy sadly lost his leg recently but he is still rocking! Search here for the poem Paradox Attitude Kings. It was recorded a couple of months ago.

  • @DualityWorld How did he lose his leg?

  • @gringolazlo

    His leg story is in a video here somewhere. I actually don't remember the details of how it happened. Search for paradox poet here and if you see a video of him without the dread locks in a pub telling a story it might be the video I'm referring too.

  • This guy reminds me of Bill Hicks. His act is Unbelievable.

  • Also

    Dont vote 4 tha Goat.

    (deep)

  • Blew me away. Thank you, keep it up.

  • This guys real good.

    A Conscious poet in the same world as people like Saul Williams, Sage Francis, Scroobius Pip, Cage, B.Dolan, Lowkey, AllFlaws

  • @chatsworthsharp420 u're going to... google them :)? How do you know that what google shows you is the truth?

  • YOU SO ROOOOOOOCK .... ONENESS

    JeweL I

  • Absolutely spot on. This stuff should be mandatory in schools. You'd never find even a fraction of this content on mainstream TV. The wonderful irony is that it's the internet, initially intended as another tool of suppression and surveillance, that's instead waking humanity up and bringing about the shift in consciousness that's been so needed. It's on now, and it's not going to stop. Respect, Rodney!

  • does anybody know where i can find like the lyrics for this LOL

  • Not true 

  • loved this right on

  • Absolutely brilliant! Bravo!

    25k views is an injustice.

  • keep it burning

  • thumbs up

  • Brilliant!

  • Excellent my friend. Found inspiration here from you.

  • please sir, may i have some more?

  • Who, if not an artist could see better through the illusion? ;)

    Amazing, I love it!

  • Very well done!

  • Fucken eh.

    Well said, amazingly wrote.

    

  • Wow - absolutely amazing video. Bravo.

  • Brilliant!....my eyes and ears hurt when i heard this liberating masterpiece, i had the experience of mr. smith syndrome the other week, a local beaurocrat i encountered gave the impression that we should unconditionally conform, what i felt is that we/i like him exhibit a self labotomy, of non expression/emotion, this is why people show pokerfaces it is social conditioning which robs us of smiles and affection, go to a council estate feel the atmosfear, stay free.....

  • Magnificent a work of art. Let's spread the word. Magnifico .Una obra de arte. Vamos a esparcir el mensaje

  • Bravo.

  • i agree with you 100% people seem to be scared of doing things that are right because they think they have to much to lose.

    love the poem my man

  • One of the most awesome things I've ever experienced

  • Greetings.

    Righteous, deep and on-point!

    OL.

    

  • Great vid!

  • Rodney, excellent video. Thank you for sharing. Most people don't realize what affects one of us affects all of us, we are all that interconnected.

  • You had this all right til confusing the crony capitalist scam w/ a TRUE Free-Market. We do NOT have a free market - you nailed it w/ the corruption of the printing of funny money and the federal reserve / IMF etc., what we need to do is get rid of government

    at least get rid of large central federal governments - decentralize & Localize - reinstate real money based on a commodity, ie gold&silver or some local commodity and remove ALL Taxes & Tariffs then we will have a True Free Market.

    peace!

  • This was AWESOME, very well done man.

  • Wonderful brother!! Thank you so much for sharing.  "Go back to sleep, the matrix has you." I love it!!!

  • beautiful message. :)

  • Thank you for this Rodney. This is great!

  • Truth, it is a choice.

  • ..nice try..to rap my hip with a pop of a hip hop flub..but hey..dont call up the medics the kid is bleeding cosmeticks..words and an more of those closed doors for what you are calling for is violence a fidel a violin to play me after den den..no rasta bro your no dog poet your a foa fee fomm i smell the breath of a dum dum:)..

  • Right on man...Thanks for sharing. You are right...we poets need to unite..

    @benjatheavenga The tap water has residue from the chemicals we and everyone else in a city might ingest, be they sex hormones, antidepressants (which have proven to further depress), or merely the calcium that our bodies can not dissolve from dairy. City water contains chemicals to kill bacteria that will also slowly strip your insides..also the PH makes your body more acidic..though to be honest. bottled is not better

  • Right on man...Thanks for sharing. You are right...we poets need to unite..

  • Greatness.

  • yu are amazing rodney do u have facebook

  • FREE MARKET=IMPOSSIBLE AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A FEDERAL RESERVE BANK SETTING THE PRICE OF MONEY

  • Proper old-skool Rap. N1

  • Wow! you are beautiful and talented. thanx for spreading truth. OneLove, OneMother, OneTribe.

  • Beautiful Truth. You are very talented Rodney!

  • beautiful!!!! 

  • He profited from the pain that's why he hasn't been online for 3 years =/ Chris Rock was right..It's Alright, If its All White.

  • Thanks enjoyed it : D

  • Matrix = Mother of all tricks. Hotep King for the positive wise, words of wisdom.

    RasTafari

  • AWESOME POEM

  • Outstanding! This is going out there and it will go far. One thing though...the part about demanding that the wealth be redistributed back to humanity needs to be thought thru towards a shift in value consciousness. If we just stop at the redistribution phase then we are just asking for the whole thing to start over. Neh?

  • Well said, Brother. Don't ever stop creating. You're a genius.

  • So talented ! well done.

  • Kudos, seriously. That was brilliant!

  • YOU GET IT DUDE YOURE AMAZING!

  • what an excellent delivery of such a thought provoking poem....bravo

  • spoke right to my soul bro ,,, thx you and stay safe ,,,  peace hempster Ho,Kan, Ahau

  • Mr. Paradox you rock!

  • Yo Shakespeare, Great work !

  • yes yes hes great. I think your right about

    B DOLAN and ALLFLAWS.

    they are very much on this type of visionary level.

    You should try SAGE FRANCIS too. He is one cogent MC.

  • For those who do want to see a more current track by Paradox, use the usual prefix followed by - watch?v=Oc2Ry3HncEw

  • Truth!

  • awesome,a small light in the darkness.

  • shut up commy

  • Not everyone that is against capitalism is a communist, sir. In fact, nothing he said is pro-communism.

    He's talking about things that are greater than any politic.

  • @SirithHeruwen twat

  • >:D

  • I just went to this gentleman's page here on Youtube. He hasn't signed on in 2 years. Anyone know if the poet is incarcerated? I'm just pointing out that he is preaching a very interesting point (Strawman) and has not logged on in quit some time. Anyone???

  • A hint of Saul Williams, beautiful...

  • Most Excellent!

  • I couldn't ever wield a lightsaber with as much elegance as the way you wield words. I am truly humbled and in AWE. The words you've spoken is a Truth talked about by many around the world for years. Yet no one has ever truly said them so brilliantly and made them ART. You are one of my new heroes, and I thank you from the depth of my soul.

  • @SithLordOmega Hahaha. Its good. not that good.

  • Comment removed

  • common sense and truth in the lyrics, excellent work brother.

  • great, goes straight to my playlist "money". check it out for more great clips
