Saul Williams - 5 Senses (Def Poetry Jam)

[adotinthecosmos]

Saul, the son of man is not done. He has only begun. You and god are one because you dance together at the sound of your drum. Ohm.

[CircusOfBedlam]

this guy is a genius

[flickerman68]

Why does the share function not work with this video?

[Highkeylowking]

@emptysteele **An telephone The Son of MAN And tell Him He is DONE**

[blackswanlight]

OMG SPIRIT IN HUMAN FORM, SAUL WILLIAMS!

[singinfro]

5 senses cannot sense the fact of our existence and that's the only fact, in fact there are no facts. Fax me a fact and I'll telegram a hologram or telephone the son of man and tell him he is done. Leave a message on his answering machine telling him there are none. God and I are one. Times moon times star times sun. The factor is me, you remember me! I slung amethyst rocks on Saturn blocks so I got caught up by earthling cops, so I stopped combing my mind so my THOUGHTS could lock.

[CainTheMain]

Saul Williams and Black Ice. The two would make a great pairing.

[ealvarezz10]

@CainTheMain can't agree more. They speak the truth.

[burnrider2001]

Saul Williams rocks... figuratively speaking of course.

[MsSexysandra]

umbrellaseance youtube em saul williams little brother hes good

he has the most views on youtube over 750 million,he all over google

[schmarsh]

i admit that i cannot help but judge anyone who begs to differ on the opinion that Saul just KNOWS. there isn't any other way to put it. you get it or you don't.

[RiotersBlock]

Kinda annoyed that this merges 3 separate poems together from 'The Dead Emcee Scrolls'. Still a brilliant work and Saul's passion is what makes it amazing.

[mmmmmmchicken]

im on a quest looking for the man who really wrote all his stuff

[Rambo29]

You found him

[refuel829]

any "thing" = nature

nature = every "thing"

one = nature

nature is 1 all is 1

[Sabbatai]

Saul Willams always "kills it!"

I wonder if the line "Life is more than meets the eye and I" is also a play on "I and I" in Ras Tafari dialect. He says earlier that "God and I are one" which is what "I and I" means..hrmm it doesn't really make sense to me in that regard but I still wonder.

One of my fave lines from Saul is "Jesus had a wife and she was HIS messiah".

Beautiful words from one of the few true "artists" out there.

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

Gnostic and mystic christianty, sufi islam (nondual), all say that God and I are one, or something like that: "I am NOTHING, compared to God's presence that is One."

[voorheesdrummer666]

i love the connection you made with that man. possibility for everything.

[m1kec0d4]

wow he see's things throught i light i never considered to look at life throught its unreal how one can define such thoughts into phrases which make such sense

[MrDuffy81]

I do not like the art.Someone decided to make his ring finger tip look like a penis...

If you don't see it, then you probably don't have one.

[trkstar79]

if you get the documentary "SlamNation" this whole poem is on there. His Children of the Night poem is on there also. its a really good video i highly reccommend it

[hiphop6738]

Hes so inspiring, i listen 2 thise every day like 10 times. Is there a way 2 get this on mp3?

[MaBu888]

THE best. God and I and you are one nondual big mind. Eye is just the eye. Third eye adds to OMMMMMMM. Ommmmm adds to ommmmm and that is the all and one.

[Fluxuate]

"...i often feel alone, so i find peace through OM."

[Darkknightel3]

Wow...amazing...just amazing...5 senses cannot sense the fact of our existence

[dblup2008]

He is on another level

[AfraRe1]

Beautiful Mind

[MaBu888]

Transcending and including all the previsous levels, LOL. Truely, reading this as text clears some stuff up too.

[AfraRe1]

This is very true, Saul William knows how to mix knowledge of self and ancestry, time, and space,love, etc. in so many ways and I LOVE IT.

[MaBu888]

Very well said.

[cttool2]

[jaydogg408]

[emptysteele]

[muharremxl]

thank u, respect! :)

[emptysteele]

there is more, i ran out of room

Im tired of trying to understand,

Perceptions are mangeled, matted and knotted anyway,

Life is more then meets the eye and I,

So wile I made eyes and the third,

But even that shit seems absurd when your thoughts leave you third,

Isolated,

No man is an island but I often feel alone,

So I find peace through ohmm

[Ahhhoki]

@emptysteele you're wrong on so many of thos lines.

[HammerNHook]

@emptysteele "elevate" not "wile i made"

[3rdeye47]

Woah the man killed it right there!!!!!

[Shiftee88]

@emptysteele I think he says "telephone the son of man" not "this other friend"

[paulAEden]

efanhunt, I should hope you do not intend to imply that Saul williams is ranting. Open your mind.

[efanhunt]

ranting.

[femme4studs]

gosh...

[olcia4]

Do you have to speak fast when performing slam poetry?

[stephentastik]

No, it's all up to the poet and how he wants to let his words be heard.

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

Dope! He put spoken word on the map for the new generation! He takes it back to the Gill Scott Heron dayz

[iankhadan]

can we get video for this?

[mizzbanks707]

he talks fast but is really talented
