Check out this speech with Hans Zimmer's Time dubbed in the back!

[strangledwords]

wtf with all those tags....

[dillonshaver1989]

Art touches people and is authentic. This is an anthem for life and your words give me hope every day and there wil; never be enough words to thank you.

[killerfriend94]

if this was the most viewed video on youtube...........i wouldnt lay awake at nights worrying about the future of this world, of what kind of place it will be when my children enter it............

[SmandreaSmandrea]

a guy named Rudy Francisco has basically the same poem... I wonder who copied who?

[goodwilltx]

@SmandreaSmandrea well, considering Rudy says it's a cover, I would say Anis' is the original. Do a youtube search for this 'Rudy Francisco - What a Man Is (Anis Mojgani Cover) (7/9)'

[MrBigbadtennisplaya]

@SmandreaSmandrea anis is too good to copy

[KillYourTeeVee]

wow.. somebody lay a beat down behind this cat.. never mind, this is perfect

[cbstinger2]

I've never cried at a poetry recitation until now

[360gamer1]

Beautiful. 

[xNATEx916]

I really had no interest in poetry at all. My friend showed me this an I swear I changed in that 3 minutes.

That was amazing.

[friskydeadman]

@xNATEx916 dude, stumbleupon did the same thing to me haha, i went from suppressing to expressing myself in about 3 minutes xD

[adodge89]

i hope that the 6 dislikes to this were accidents because that was genius

[physco118]

He's a visionary

[jonahharper]

6 people have children who frequent residential streets apparently.

[gallegos55]

"i dream too much and i dont write enough

and im trying to find God everywhere. "

[cobhatebreeder]

This is amazing. I know slam poetry is meant to be heard, but if you actually find a text of this and read along, it's beautiful.

[LuckyMeexD]

That was brilliant.

[janderson03]

He's like a modern-day Rumi. This is some truly inspiring work.

[barrelracr16]

love this guy!

[lifeiskelly]

You must be made of metal and wires to not get chills when watching/listening to this

[WobblyHedgehogs]

so.fucking.good

[Genieinus]

I still catch my breathe listing to Anis.

- each breath I take, brings me closer to a sense of G-d.

[ciriahcallen]

This is like.. music.. whixch btw is my crack... fk!.. I think im now hooked on crack & Meth:/:3

[HouseMagician]

I'm pretty sure 26,855 views are from me...

[skillette]

Your spirit blazes!!

[spwick86]

I had dinner with Anis, Buddy Wakefield, and Derrick Brown back in 2009. needless to say, it was life-changing

[oceanview1211]

@spwick86

I'm a little jelly--not going to lie. I met Anis after his reading at KU last week. He's such a nice guy

[zapface94]

sounds like watsky. must be watsky's inspiration.

[nitros3000]

This is so indescribably beautiful. How can a person so genuine and great exist? it's a slap in the face to the very nature of the world.

[numommy310]

This man is incredible. There's nothing else to say!!!!

[kasooie]

Everyone who likes this, you must look up Shane Koyczan. You won´t regret it.

[yourforeverqueen]

@kasooie OMG i love him. he's amazing. i lovelovelove his canadian pride!

[mfl728]

I wish I could see him live. This guy is amazing, he has a way of dancing with his words and ideas that just mesmerizes me every time. I aspire to be as good as this man one day.

[nikkogmail]

I Cried, I Wish Everyone Was This Beautiful

[Kaylagirl1238]

[jmstanley111]

This is bone chilling.

Inspired me to write more.

[cutoutpaperstars]

[NayderTahiphopQueen]

he still curses in this though. I just think this more detailed, It flows more

[cdvddt]

This slam is amazing.

It gives me creeps each time !

[hellokikihi]

"i drive 60 through residential streets praying to hit a child so they might stay forever an angel"

[gavinksong]

who's the one guy who disliked this?

[brendenlawson]

thank you so much

[KTSK8ER]

seeing ains live is life changing you walk out of the building with a new perspective on life his poetry moves mountians

[xclusiv4321]

i've heard other versions of this poem and i'm wondering why he's leaving all the swears out. is it cause he's getting more religious or is it because it's a teen audience, someone tell me

[angel3mwah]

@xclusiv4321 I've wondered the same thing. I think it's because of the teen audience

[DustyLeviCalcote17]

soo good. i got the chills 3 times during this video!!

[murepoison]

@DustyLeviCalcote17 i got chills all throughout the video...

[StopUnumNow]

Just ask Him - It's not that complex - after all.
