[everlastinglove714]

[jenklefritz]

@everlastinglove714 Thank you very much - great comment.

[opTreadstone]

Very good

[jenklefritz]

@opTreadstone ty my friend I appreciate it.

[kittttygirl5]

Wow! <3 your really good. Do u publish your poetry?

[jenklefritz]

@kittttygirl5 not yet everything is copyrighted however, so I'm hoping eventually if i write enough songs, maybe I can connect with a big time singer and get more recognition, which would lead to others wanting to cover my other songs. Maybe in time. I'm not sure if this is better as a song or as a poem, what do you think could it be made into a song?

[advantage73]

The Trees have Spoken eloquently! Great skills, my friend! Thanks for posting! ;-)

[jenklefritz]

@advantage73 I know right, it's like I was dreaming one night and the trees they all came into my dream and I woke up and my pillow was gone, it was crazy. Seriously, though I was inspired by the Lorax - Dr. Suess.

[trlckykid]

You make 2 pac look like a punk

[jenklefritz]

@trlckykid Thanks my friend, check out my other writings, they are as good if not better than this one. I have two successful songs so far too, the Agnostic Ant, which is a great animation to go with the song and on the top of my favorites check out Jimmy Jeter singing If the indians had won.

[COMETxELENIN]

i hope you watch my vid..... it has beautiful trees

good poetry

[jenklefritz]

@COMETxELENIN I will watch it right now, wish I knew how to take a video with nice trees and overlay on top of the poem. I could learn if I had more time.

[Fiona2480]

Thank you. vieot steal some of the trees, I am interested in life-

eggyütt was supposed to do something*****Fiona(éva)

[jenklefritz]

@Fiona2480 life is good LOL

[UNITEWAD]

Great word's my friend.

[jenklefritz]

@UNITEWAD I appreciate the comment my friend.

[crawford28281]

i do little things here and there to try but i am so consumed with just trying to live a comfortable (not fancy life)...I want to say humble...alot of people think about doing this ..it's sad to say unless you have money or can raise money which takes up alot of your time from just trying to live.... that a whole lot is not gonna get accomplished ..it's good that there are people and groups that can dedicate alot of time and money to off set those that don't have neither and are trying to live

[jenklefritz]

@crawford28281 I know that's a good point, I am the same way, I have four kids and a full time job there is just so much to do. So I'm hoping that my words can possibly inspire others.

[jenklefritz]

@crawford28281 I know what you mean, if i had more time to commit to this cause i could really make a difference I think. JJ3

[crawford28281]

I liked it...i thought it was great.... ...Alot of people think of this ..i think about it.....most people are so consumed with everyday life that this as a whole is thrown on a backburner...Most people don't have their Mom and Dads estate to fall back on..All the kids i grew up that persued this as a mission in life...their parents were all middle class to rich.... The majority of people that go heavy into this you will see that they come from at the very least a middle class home and above...

[TheWCChronicles]

Your video is done well, I like it.

[jenklefritz]

@TheWCChronicles thanks I appreciate the kind words.

[dmeskouris]

I also met some Jewish people too, sorry if I offended you...

[jenklefritz]

@dmeskouris You would have to try much harder than that to offend me. LOL It's no problem.

[nmdeal]

OK

[jenklefritz]

@nmdeal KO

[AlgisKemezys]

I love this so much..Glad some one is speaking for the trees.

[jenklefritz]

@AlgisKemezys Thanks very much, I wrote this years ago, the words just came to me, I don't really know where they came from, but they have been in my head for over 10 years. I used to go to coffee shops back in the day but I don't go out much anymore. I thought about how youtube would give me a forum to recite and showcase my writing ability. I'm hoping to eventually be a writer for movies, shows etc. Hopefully this is just the start, either way I'm having fun doing it. Thanks again. JJ3

[jenklefritz]

@ricksta65 Thanks brother, I assume that you are the same Ricksta from Silver Spoons? LOL prob don't get the reference.

[dmeskouris]

I saw a black guy once...

[jenklefritz]

@dmeskouris - hmm this is your shctick to show me that you have a funny channel. Not sure I get the humor in this comment. Just because a comment is random doesn't necessarily make it funny. : )

[ConsciousAwakening1]

VERY beautiful and touching! People need to see that trees and ALL things we have are necessary! Without trees, we cannot have oxygen, no oxygen, we cannot breathe, no breath = no life! Namaste and thanks for speaking for the trees!

[jenklefritz]

@ConsciousAwakening1 thank you for the nice words, this was inspired by the Lorax character from Dr. Suess, remember him?

[ConsciousAwakening1]

@jenklefritz Sure do lol And you're quite welcome!

[trlckykid]

Wow, that was the gayest thing I have ever heard. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay.

[jenklefritz]

@trlckykid said the 15 year old who is going to be dealing with a harsh reality when he is 60 years old if we don't start making relevant and serious changes now.

[trlckykid]

@jenklefritz Says the old grumpy dude that realizes the lumber industry is not as retarded as some people think... they plant almost half of the trees and grow over half. Also you need variety in you .rhyme scheme.. at least abab,, your abbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb­bbbbbbbbbbbb

[jenklefritz]

@trlckykid This is a prime example of what I refer to as an energy thief. Ask yourself the question, what does tricky kid possibly gain by coming here to insult my writing? Does it make him money, does it make him happy? No, he is just trying to upset me and as a result steal my energy. When someone does something to upset you for no apparent reason, understand there is a reason, they want your energy. The world is full of energy thieves, don't let them take it, ignoring them is the answer

[aprilspring770]

Awesome!

[jenklefritz]

@aprilspring770 Thank you very much I really appreciate the kind words.

[Brigid336]

This is very good ... The truth hurts but its still the truth we as people need to come together standing against the machine of life!! Freedom fight to unite!! Elevate and expand!! Take care amendone

[ForcedAgenda]

lol...

[erickdircks]

Nice! Thank you very much for Sharing!

What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!

Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!

A New Friend

Erick

[jenklefritz]

@erickdircks thanks so much, I wrote almost 12 years ago and fine tuned it recently. I just got back into writing now that I have a medium, before it was tough because I had to find coffee bars and there wasn't a big scene where I lived. JJ3

[partymusicuk]

speak in a language that we will listen 2 this is so manufactured

[jenklefritz]

@partymusicuk Not sure what you mean by manufactured, I wrote this myself based on something you obviously lack, deep thoughts regarding mankind's impact on the world we live on. Man has been around for over 3 million years, only the last 10,000 years have we changed our culture to take everything instead of leaving something for the future. Mankind was not always this way, once we understood, once we were in harmony with our surroundings. My voice is NOT manufactured.

[jenklefritz]

@jenklefritz If you think that this is so manufactured then take a couple of minutes to listen to some of my other writings and tell me if that is your language. LOL Perhaps you should try speaking the language of living life with your eyes open and paying attention to the world around you. Or maybe you happen to know of another habitable planet that is out there in about 100 years after this one is ruined. If we even make it that far. JJ3

[CCArisingForm]

Love & Appreciation

[jenklefritz]

@CCArisingForm Right back at ya kid. Thx.

[sauro170]

very coool

[jenklefritz]

@sauro170 I really appreciate that comment, it means a lot.

[MrPeeKaBooMx]

Really Good Man, Keep On Going :D <3.

[jenklefritz]

@MrPeeKaBooMx Thank you so much, it's kind words like that that keep me motivated to write more and build my audience, I think I want to put more of my writings to music as I go, but it's sometimes difficult to match up a beat for them.

[whitewitchwares]

Really nice job. I thought you did very well. I gave it a thumbs up! Keep at it you're doing really good. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!

[jungleman62]

Beautiful words. Thank you for sharing.

[PridePerfection]

This is GREAT! I think if you said it with more power, it would come across better. i love spoken word, i dabble a little myself. But yea, you've got a strong message, just add some force and it'll knock people's socks off

[xxilikepieboyxx]

ya nice poem man for real im just sum random kid but this is good shit

[ecstatica23]

[zezt]
