The first time I saw thius tears rolled down my face, all these years later my heart, my mind, my soul is still is so effected by her words. She speaks the truth and that fact alone hurts
I have been watching this def poetry stuff for a while now, and like everyone i hear is good at what they do, but She is a POET...a REAL POET... their are only a few on this show, and she is one of them....bless her heart
omg mashallah amazing. i'm going to try my hardest to have everyone of my friends see this. hear and understand. she brought me to tears. i know what it feels like and i can't stand it. and it's true, all we have now is each other, got to carry each other now.
Your words are so explosive with sensitivity yet filled with the compassion of a beautiful gentle heart. Your gift from God is a true blessing that needs to continue, by teaching the human heart to forgive & love our brothers & sisters.
I wonder if it will come a day that I can watch this and simply not cry, she speaks from her soul from the mouth of being a sister from the heart of an American women. Alot of pain in her words but she stands tall and straight
Powerful words. A great poem doesn't have to rhyme either. Not all poems do. Her choice of words were perfect. To the point and def gets the message across.
Remembering 911 this is great much needed perspective about diversity in a conflict and the importance of understanding and listening to all points of view
just because people hav a voice, doesnt mean they can speak, this is the voice of muslim women, and it is beutiful, it is the truth about what is wrong, rather than the lies that the government weave to create order, i hope this woman has the strength to bring this message to others, and silence racism and slander of the people who are different and are hurting so much... may god/allah/buddha/ganesh or whoever ur god is, help u find the strength not to fight...
