We are not proud to be fighting overseas... we just have to do it to protect the men and women who stand next to us... I do what I must to keep the food on my childs plate. I wish more Americans would just stand up and tell OUR government to bring us home. We can't... we have to and must do what we are told or it will be our lives or our battle buddies life on the line.
Andrea Gibson.... you are fucking amazing.... I have not cried in years and i just spent hours watching everythng you have up and you reached me. i thank you i really do
Thank you. This comment is worthy, grand and fair. Very well put and it made me feel supported in my thoughts. Thank you again for sharing. Beautiful, enlightened mind you have.
She is completely, breathtakingly amazing. I'm constantly startled by her words, even though I sometimes wonder if their effect on me will ever lessen over time, like the words of other poets have. I can't help but notice the band on her wrist though. It tears me up that this wonderful, beautiful, amazing woman may be self injuring.
You are amazing. I love your work. But as a soldier I feel offend by this particular piece. Although I do not agree with the war effort, I am happy to lay down my life for the American people.
"Every river is a lantern running without oil" Her words are powerful.

The tears! Andrea, you are the very vision of love.

i think this is the perfect poem and all mankind should just sit down and listen to it.
This might be the greatest poem ever written!
this is so powerful and overwhelming
The rhythm in her speech is so unique and makes the performance that much better, so great

I've never heard the truth shouted out so loud!
words are just wind - words have nothing to say
a mother can never find a right place to store an empty craddle
Intense.. really intense.
she's talking about the american people and the war effort, not the soldiers.
Truth - Bones can not break into song WOW
Fuck. I cried.
Does anyone know Andrea's religion?

I really don't understand what you mean by this?
It is better with Sigur Ros- Ara Butar as the backing music.
But it is still poignant here.
You are amazing. I love your work. But as a soldier I feel offend by this particular piece. Although I do not agree with the war effort, I am happy to lay down my life for the American people.
Awesome. Shame about the music though.
