America is way cool. Everybody loves America and wants to move here. Anything it wants to do it does. That's so cool.

This poem is so powerful! I’m literally in tears. A beautiful but sad poem. A wordsmith! RIP ❤

Thee best Poet🫶🏾

2024 and this is still my favorite poem

Two things can be true at the same time. Amanda can be absolutely brilliant and still be a toxic narcissist... Her comments following her conversation with Shannon Sharpe showed her true colors... What's sad is that her narcissism prevents her from seeing her own faults and flaws.

My favorite poem by him! "This Beach" on Def Poetry is also great.

What happened to this hip hop

Nobody: Black dads when they talk about 90s basketball :

As long as there is injustice in the world, this poem will remain relevant.

I remember when Def Poetry came out, and here i am in 2024. The absolute passion he puts into this is breathtakingly beautiful.

Here in 2024

Its 2024 and this is still iconic and relevant to this day!!! 👏🏿👏🏿

January 2024: I grew up listening to this due to my sisters obsession with his poems. Now that I’ve reached adulthood his poem really resonates with me, and gives me the strength to continue in a world filled with oppression.

...America is paranoid!...they spread rumors about aliens, new military technologies because they are frightened about enemies that don't exist at all, Ghosts...they want distract of their vulnerability! cheers, Gregxx....🦇

I think of this poem whenever I’m having a rough patch when I’m at work teaching children much like Brother Oscar described here. They are my purpose.

All the white people were like "oh no! It's happening!"

Love this
