  • Wordplay is too much, inspiration.

  • BRILLIANT!

  • mic righteous mixtape brought me here

  • brilliant

  • only thing i disagree with is that everyone knws where you live thats kinda peak

  • Wow, that was amazing. I too write poems but could never do that. I have only got one spoken poem up here but for some reason I can't read it like that, with feeling.

  • AGAIN ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!!

  • ***That's good stuff bro check mine out let me know what u think..***

  • nice one mate

  • after reading the description, I think you know what you are talking about, unlike many others.

  • "If knowledge is power we're bound to stay powerless."

    Powerful words there Shawalin! Powerful words.

  • Wow dat was amazing... God bless u

  • @sweetGhanaianqueen Co sign.

  • wow.

  • Hello George,

    I think the idea behind this is really interesting, and is a constant dilemma in any case of any group of people who suffer prejudice in society. I do think there's a balance though. Not everything can be put down to an inherent bias in society yet not everything can be put down to laziness. I do think that you're right in suggesting that once society starts to open up (and it takes pioneers to force it to) part of the onus is on the victims of aforementioned prejudice to [cont'd]

  • @gideonfarrell

    [cont'd]

    jump into the space and really accelerate the reversing trend.

    Anyway, I liked the way it worked lyrically. More at the end than the beginning but the metre is really well orchestrated.

  • @Diezal29 think someone needs to learn how to spell.

  • woooow ...dats was emosh 

  • Bruvvv You Went Innnn,

    Keep It up Fam!!

  • Dope!

  • It takes educated people like u 2 speak their minds n give others hope fam, im proud of u (no homo!)... mayb goin bak the the ends n giving a talk about ur experiences while ur gettin ur hair cut is part of the solution.. What is making it?? The ability to leave the ends? Or the capacity to realise that the ends is not all there is?

  • Genius

  • Is dat how a man is reli goin on yah big man ting tell them fuk da hood get a book use ur eyes and look don't be shook.

  • Great stuff

  • You are legend. This is brilliant.

  • Yessir! Not one to usually make a comment, but i'll make an exception. 'Simplicity provides a fine line between eloquence and plainness', and you bridged the gap. The message is raw and true. It's only controversial to those who are deaf to the truth. Hats off to you sir, hats off.

  • @TheElShadai thanks a lot

  • @Shawalin btw u have nice eyes :)

  • ''I'll only come back to go to the barbers'' LOL - I agree that some are lazy, but I wouldn't go so far as saying that people are not oppresed - sometimes people work hard and still don't make it; some don't work and because of luck or oppportunity they do. If you've made it does not necessarily follow that everyone who was in a position similar to yours can also. The operative word is 'similar' i.e. not the same - With the idiosyncracies of life and the subtle differences nothing is certain.

  • @1389jay i really like this response, it's what I was lookin for. The aim of this poem was to undermine the assumption that we are helpless - the degree to which we can all help ourselves is debatable but when did it ever hurt to hope?

  • @Shawalin true, true, never hurt to hope. I guess the 'hope' element is more pertinent now you've changed the description in the box (which was more declaratory with a subtly didactic tone...well maybe not didactic but certainly written with conviction)

    You probably hear it all the time, but LOVE your work! shall be looking forward to more - you have enough support from this end; the more controversial the better but know say my comments can be equally controversial
