[be460]

[thejohnwerner]

Homeboy has got moves.

[koii03]

i wonder who Quentin is...

anyway. i swear i can listen to this everyday.

[pumpkinized]

@Llynok

Cosmic dictatorship? Is this your relationship with God?

[romanianskill]

fucking mong

[killerfriend94]

This should be the most viewed video on youtube.........

[froyboy4life]

I swear I saw this guy preform in a coffee shop before. First slam I ever saw. Had to have been like 6 years ago.

[bigbro02]

I wanted to be in the WWF too, but a different one.

[heylaurat]

i watch this every day.

[Llynok]

@ajmoser2 It's based on Bronze Age, hurtful, hating lies.

[SlamForman17]

Great poem! Really inspired me. Other fans of Slam Poetry, please check out my work! Hope you like it. I have my best two posted right now.

[armadillo360]

3 people need to slow down...

[Colombiana916]

Damn I watched it twice jajaj

[Llynok]

Think about the tiny amount of greatness more he could achieve if he didn't believe in a god.

[LordAdib]

@Llynok That has nothing to do with anything. Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, and Mother Teresa impacted the world in wonderfully positive ways and left an indelible mark on our society, and they were all theists.

[Llynok]

@LordAdib Mother Teresa was not a theist, and moreover was an awful person. Point is, living your life without a cosmic dictatorship makes a great place to draw inspiration from.

[donmeatball]

Holy shit.

[therealcarrotninja]

I listen to this like music.

[keywolf23]

slow down, Quentin.....

[jjm121]

This is my favorite spoken word poem.

Actually, it's my favorite poem. Period.

[MrMisskrissy]

thankyou.

[TaylorRaboin]

Holy. Sh*t. I am LOST, I am miserable, I am depressed, and I wish I was free to act on my own accord, I wish I could free myself from this system I am trapped within. But for a brief three minutes and thirty-six seconds, I forgot about it all. And that is the power of art. I don't know why I felt compelled to share this (the human condition, perhaps, or even my own insecurities), but I did. And I feel others feel the same. Just know that you are not alone, we are in it together. Act accordingly.

[MrTendy30]

Insane

[killerfriend94]

i cant stop watching this!

[ThePoopArt]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

[jerrrrrrrrrrrr]

anis is the catcher in the rye.

strait dope

"He drives 45 minutes just to water flowers."

[DontTellMyBoss]

I just watched this series (for the hundredth time) in the perfect setting: in my dark, quiet room while my home mates are asleep. This b/w series in the pitch dark is quite memorable. Anis is superb. SUPERB, I SAY!!

[FenderMan1191]

I have a cousin named Quentin. This poem reminds me of him: A troubled, angry and impatient boy. I wanna tell him, "Slow down, Quentin. Slow down, Quentin... You don't have to touch and go... Slow down and hold what you see just a little while longer..." This is beautiful and inspiring. In a world of shallow people and hasty times, Anis is a person of depth and a voice of patience. Slow down today, and every day. Take time to experience life, and never lose the little kid inside.

[LuckyMeexD]

This is actually beautiful. By far my favourite performance of him. The black and white emphasizes his poems so much more. It's beautiful.

[jangtank]

do you think anis will marry me?

[ILoveEverStaysRed]

AMAZING!!!!!

So beautifully honest!!!! :)

[RenesmeeCarlie86]

we read/analyzed this in Advanced Language Arts 9 and have to compare this to The Great Gatsby and Romeo and Juliet for our final exam. This is also our student teacher's favorite poem

I think it is a pretty good poem

My favorite part is, "Slow down, Quinton, slow down, Quinton."

[ronrutherford]

@RenesmeeCarlie86 Wow. Sounds like an interesting but difficult class.

[RenesmeeCarlie86]

@ronrutherford it was a lot of fun and we only had 13 people in the class but yes very difficult

[ronrutherford]

@RenesmeeCarlie86 What was the name of the class? Very cool.

[RenesmeeCarlie86]

@ronrutherford It was Advanced Language Arts 9 @ PEHS

[adiehailat]

I just stumbled upon him and I feel like my life is already a lot richer.

[LivexLongxProsper]

This poem makes my life 12 times better!!!

[KeithSkud]

Brilliant.



[notguiltygirl]

I cried.

[fallingshadowstar000]

@notguiltygirl i lost count of how many times i cried.



[HimynameisMrJ]

I don't think i've ever heard anything thats just hit me like this has....damn

[ag0nyNdeath72209]

breaks my heart...so. powerful.

[MKirro]

This is probably Anis' best reading of this poem. Anyone who hasn't heard this is missing out on an incredible performance.
