    "I do not love fear but I respect him. And he loves me, testing how well I carry the sword of my intent through the land of the midnight farm."

    I was lucky enough to meet this man and be taught by him at a poetry workshop when he came to New Zealand recently. He is absolutely magical and his words will stick with me forever

    Oh my God, I am crying. This is absolutely beautiful. He's so great at performing. He doesn't have one of those over-dramatic voices. He's a joy to listen to. The end was enough to make me sit back in awe mixed with tears, though. Amazing.

    Aww I'm so sorry to hear about your loss Anis. I love your poem "This is how she makes me feel" and I have embraced each word of it. May she rest in peace.

    She’s not dead. She cheated on him then divorced him. Listen to his one poem “some summers past”

    My first thought when he said he hated black people was "what the hell I'm not watching this racist shit" and then he said he just wanted to see if people were paying attention and I was really happy.

    Jessica Ham if you were paying attention he obviously said that he has love for the random racist man on the street so that should have alluded to the fact that he wasn’t racist🤦🏽‍♂️
