[EnglishRose900]

is that a cheeky splif ?! haha . who wrote this ?

[spokenwordnerd]

@EnglishRose900

I did :)

[tantz1]

Well said my friend !

[RyeVisious]

Hey, I saw you at the Blast Beat Charity gig in Putney, I still think this poem is awesome. and does hit the nail on the head verry much so. and i couldn't help read Captainsurrey's comment, how ignorent can people be to not look deeper into someones motives behind issuses being raised in this poem. i think the poem is in your face and is so real it can sort of be seen as obscene but i think people see this poem as agressive because you're reading it in a mannorism that mirrors england today

[MrGwaa]

Yo Gex. Rather enjoyed it, good work. what made you wanna do this?

[CherryBlossom4You]

awesome!

stop smoking...btw

[tammy713910]

fantastic poem, agree with everything you have said in it, captainsurrey seems to have been misguided by this poem thinking you were a racist and a bigot, to be fair to you though this is how half of the adult population feels at present, lets hope mr cameron can do a better job but i'm not holding my breath.

[popabubbleable]

that was awesome dude...keep them coming

[xxxradiatorxxx]

woot ^^ This Is amazing Gex, I love it, You struck a chord with me, good work.

+ its nice to see your face again after so many years =]

xx

Watch

youtube ' child stealing by the state' Brian Gerrish

common purpose

find out the truth they want to keep hidden from you,

it's all a LIB/LAB/CON

[Limeisback2012]

Your Poem speaks volumes. I am an American but I agree with your message tenfold. I hope both our nations can rise above the stupor we seemed to be damned to.

[PepeMartz]

coool!

[joeykins911]

thankyou man,

that was a great poem and well spoken.

its great to see that there are people who still care out there.

[shirleybowen]

Martin, its a novelty to hear a young voice turning against what many see as the sleeping celebrity-following 'culture' (if we can call it that) - what would happen in a third world war - not the same comradeship seen in the 1st and 2nd. Ooh.... where's my eyeliner? !! - well you get the drift.

Mary Whitehouse She Wasn't Fooled .your poem was scathing, apart from the queenie bit, as I said before. Kids look out for more from a guy who knows the score.

[SaraF7]

well said.

[ilovepista]

i agree with what your saying but the bit about the queen at the start, thats really the only british thing about britian at the moment

[m5loverx]

A very good peom, you have a gift and its nice to see that you are putting it to good use.

Swearing is used to make a point but i think it slightly rewined the flow of your peom and the impact of your message.

[McGachie]

Completely agree. You're cute too!

[Audiocurrent]

very true , nice attack on what kills this once great island plus you make it sound good , i mean i wirte poetry simular to this just not as long as good and spoken word very good :)

[captainsurrey]

You sound like you'd be right at home voting for the BNP. Even though you didn't write this yourself, I find you offensive and opinionated.

[spokenwordnerd]

I dont normally reply to such ignorance but the BNP is everything I stand against.

This is just meant to be a poem about teenage pregnancey, gang culture and binge drinking which are major issues for our country right now. I love this country and I love all people and just want a better world for everybody.

[Chrisindapurplehouse]

And for that comment and ur poem u r awesome mate

[alexlyrics]

right on brother

[SnickersInTheBarn]

u rock.

'nuff said.

[francofan111]

if you find this offensive then that's your problem! and how is being opinionated a bad thing?

[zark212]

@captainsurrey You Captainsurrey sound like your not living in Reality. I find you idiotic and shy of reality. Never mind - next time you have a group of yobs causing trouble outside your spring cottage - don't cry to us.

[BretterThanRealLife]

That was great! Very impassioned and touching the heart of the siutation today I think.

Just don't influence the young kids making them think it's cool to smoke.

[zaielle]

that was really awesome!

[joshiehanson]

This was f*cking ill mate. Really nice ending too. 5 starts =D

[rhymingwithoranges]

Fantastic delivery. Passionate poem. Subscribed. You should post more.

[hethenia]

Really enjoyed the passionate delivery, the best poetry is passionate poetry!!

[joyscreamofseagulls]

Jayjayweee. Sarcasm is unpleasant, as is judgementalism. Apart from that, I can't see how smoking is going to impact on global warming. This young fellow is speaking from the heart and should be praised. (By the way it's you're , not your)

[Jayjayweee]

You obviously think your is different than you're, Look it up before moaning, Your is used in context for having an object or when talking about an noun somebody has. Go look it up :)

[joyscreamofseagulls]

Jayjayweee. I regret criticizing your grammar and I apologise for 'moaning'. The majority of readers will know that 'you're 'means 'you are' and that's what you should have used in your comment. It wasn't your grammar that annoyed me.

[truemingoox]

This is way, WAY better than your other video about Global Warming. It's obvious that you feel a lot more passionately about this subject.

Also, stylistically, this poem is way more interesting.

[colli2372]

Mate you will be having mi5 watching yr moves with speeches like that! Very true and great delivery though.

[kerryjamieson]

Awesome :)
