    "These are all bad ideas, you should know better" at the end sent chills down my spine

      King Weatherspoon it was the absolute perfect way to end it.

      it was like... putting a deeper meaning to all the stuff said before whether it was funny, political commentary or just sad

    I learned silence when I realized everyone around me was hungry. Wow. This is beautiful.

    "When asked the question if you are a criminal , know that the verdict has already been decided"

    This subject is the subject of so many slam poets, but some people still can have a fresh take on it, a perspective that makes you understand more. This was one of those.

    I relate to this so much oh my gosh. I'm "the quiet one" for a reason sometimes.

  • @JustALovelyLdy
    @JustALovelyLdy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yes to all of this. To wonder how to exist as myself when I have always been someone else, learning silence is hard to figure out when you have already been determined to be something else.

    This makes my heart ache every time I listen to it. I hate our society for making this poem a necessity. But brave souls like his are the only reason there is any hope for change. I'm so grateful for him and people like him willing to stand against the world.

    I love how he uses everyday situations into something meaningful , mostly life long lessons. I look up to these people and I hope to one day further develop my own creativity into something magical and meaningful on paper just as he did. Great job Joseph!
