Inauguration Poem

WHAT A CRAP POEM

-applauds at your (much better than this piece of crap "poem") words-

oh my fucking god, you're serious aren't you? maybe YOU need to learn how to spot a joke before you make a fool out of yourself.

This is beyond wacko. .....Rich, white, drug induced liberals need to stay away from politics.
I'm starting farming and buying more ammo.... it is over.

"All about us is noise and bramble, thorn and din, each one of our ancestors on our tongues."

The level of detail in this poem that marks our moments of collective humanity, is what makes this poem effective. Its insight into those collective moments, our "noise" highlighted by the fact that that noise has the unique sound of our country made of many nations. Collectively making sound and in this historic moment a song. Amazing.

They should have had William Shatner do a poem. It...would...have...been...bet ter...or...not.

You must be a total idiot if you couldn't understand this poem. I personally found it beautiful and innocent - it encompasses all people.

Great poem and delivery. It's just too true to the art to appeal to the average American, kinda like music.

I loved the poem and her delivery. It was direct, yet layered. It invoked powerful images of everyday people and everyday lives and the inherent dignity in human beings. Most of all, it focused on hope and love as redeeming qualities for us all.

I find offensive and unnecessary the racialized and sexist barbs lobbed at Elizabeth Alexander.

Could we keep comments rooted in the content of the poem? And, lets not impugn others or ourselves with the use of N***** or C***.
