@mrreaderman Who said poetry needed rhyme???

What ever happened to the good poets like TS Eliot? And I don't give a crap about this guy's race either. Seriously though, what happened to good poets? I mean, we give letigitmacy to people who can't rhyme, don't seem to use rhythm, appear as though they enjoy dumbing down poetry, and never shut up about the ghetto. Not being insensitive, just saying what I see.

The poem is nothing special, but his voice is perfect for it. He really knows how to elate the audience; great spoken word in other words.

@crapolaist they are not being assholes :) they just feel the poem!
-
that was amazing
-
why are the audience being assholes?
-
The song is by Bob Marley 'Redemption Song'
-
what song is that he's sing at the end?
-
Honestly people, he CLEARLY says that he is half black "that color and they have reserved half of my body to call its own. Like half of me is, like my father was, like my grandfather is".
NOW, can we please shut up about his skin color and enjoy this artwork?

i think the 310 people who disliked this probably did it out of ignorance, not seeing the black in him. silly world we're in ain't it? <3
