SPIRIT MOVING!

1. Quality. Production is phenomenal and epic. Your delivery is masterful and the collaboration is a masterpiece.

2. Creativity. There are no words that can describe how I really feel about this piece, but it is evident in my over-scoring of this heavenly piece of work. Any piece that makes me re-evaluate my purpose and vision of the world is not really within my authority to judge upon...WOW! This is what I love to hear when someone mentions spoken word, speak the truth of the world.

3. Value. Great replay value, I would call the world to check this piece.

Overall I give you dear brother Freedom Verse Cafe's vote and a 5/3

I'm really glad to see this in the quarter finals and I hope to see it make the finals. Hell... I hope it wins the 5 grand. That would only mean the world got to hear it more.

Peace and blessings poet.

WOW!!! This is SO BEAUTIFUL and powerful at the same time. Really touched my heart. Another one that really NEEDS to be heard by all. Getting my big thumbs up, for sure. Good luck!

Absolutely incredible...Art that touches the hearts of men!...Marvin would be exquisitely proud...This is the type of piece we should ALL be championing...Production, top-notch, melodic enough for radio, and sriking enough for all the naysayers who profess the 'music" is gone...Breeze

Looks like only the last few comments can be seen, but I made it here first on Nov. 1st, asked that everyone "please listen to this one all the way through" and then followed up later with:

Brother... Take this in real deep because there are about 15 other very strong artists participating in the channel this month whose words have "reach and touch." I can't listen to this piece without feeling something deep in my spirit moving with the story you tell through song, poetry, and speech. The photo cover is appropriate -- I can feel the tears -- and I pray for hope through change. Let it wash away."

So, for everyone listening and judging in this channel -- let me say this... We need "more listeners" in the channel. This piece doesn't belong anywhere other than top 5... and I would argue that it may very well belong as #1 this month.

I Agree with Brotha Max on this one as he Stated in His Blog I Concede from Voting As Well This is an Excellent Excellent Piece of Work.

Thank U for This...

I have no idea how this incredible work got edged out of the top ten. Down to 19 now. it's a shame. Of all the poems here, this is one that should be on top without argument. All the commenters seem to agree. yet here it is forgotten and lost in the quest for poetry fame. Something that does not even exist.
I am sorry my brother. Maybe one day we will stop trying to gain recognition and start giving it. I guess that's kind of what your saying in your poem. That we are wicked and cruel people who only care for self.
I really hope this makes it in the end. The world needs to hear this poem.

Peace & Blessings

This is an incredibly powerful and moving piece! I feel the passion for change in every lyric, every cry, every guitar lick. It truly moved me and stirred my spirit like no other. What a powerful message. I feel the pain in your voice. I'm telling you, this piece needs to be heard, and heard, and heard...

...everywhere!!

You and the content of Africa are in my prayers
