I've been coming back to watch this performance for over a decade now.
same here! :)
Same
Same here true wisdom doesn't get old!
Hey my name's Jesse too. I to come back to this all the time. Good days to you.
Me too friend.
please never remove this clip. i come back to this every once and awhile and its very important to me. this made me love spoken word and fall in love with it over and over again.
In the exact same place 💚
I was lucky enough to be there in the front row. He changed my life that night. I've heard this video a hundred times... he gives me chills every time. Truly amazing...
Over 10 years later and I still get chills.
13 years later and it still HITS
Every. Single. Time.
ive seen this video so many times. ive been listening to it for years and everytime i do it means just as much to me. today its what i really needed.
Just in case you might need the reminder about this. I know I needed to hear it again today
First heard this when I was 16/17 years old, I am 29 years old now.
"Rock out like your dead grandfather came back to take a drive with you in your brand new car" Brings tears to my eyes. And it chokes him up when he says it which makes it better
Still sending this to people after all these years. You haven't lived until this reaches you.
I can understand now why this dude is a national slam champ! Respect.
Wow. I watched this about 4 years ago, just now coming back and not knowing how much I needed this.
Same.
"...and the answer comes.
Already am, always was and I still have time to be."
Ever time I hear this I cry. I can’t help but listen to it. I miss my grandfather
Today is my 35th birthday and I am listening to this in Hawaii so I remember to keep following his direct orders.
Will that make me something, will I be something... Chills everytime I'm down
I was there! Anis made me fall in love with spit poetry that night. He is incredible!!!!!
I watched this in creative writing class almost 7 years ago, and I STILL watch it
Did you go to SOTA as well?
@@Misspip1993 good ol’ PAVCS creative writing days.
man who is this person is he really a person every time i listen to him a thrill just run down my whole body giving me a shiver,making me feel ,making me think,making me listen to wht is not said ,making me to do wht i havn't done !!!!!!
I WAS HERE... and I will most certainly return to watch this video.
Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean you have the right to judge him. He has helped many people. He has been a friend, a mentor, and an all around swell person. I don't have a sliver of a clue why people leave negative comments, you're only screwing yourself over in the end.
this man is truly the people's poet
I listen to this video once a month, these words are heartbreaking, breathtaking - and inspiring - and they push me, they give me the realization I need to continue. Anis Mojigani, your words have helped me live, and they continue to. Thank you.
"You have been given the direct order to rock the fuck out" is my favorite poem from Anis... I always wanted to see him perform this live. Thanks for sharing!
I could never get tired of this
Your poetry has a heartbeat, it is searingly honest, beautiful, warm with kindness, humanity and love. I rocked to Direct Order, walked with you with Here I Am, and cried listening to Shake The Dust.Thank you for sharing your gift with words. Bill Hicks would be proud of you.
i cant remember last time a poet REALLY moved me, but i have been watching this guy all day, and i just want to share it, i want everyone i know and like too see this, i want them all to feel like i do right now. I feel like a better person for watching this.
Thank you!
I cant describe how i feel when i listen to him in words.
Hes sooo inspiring,just amazing
God, he's amazing. I always get chills listening to him. I always feel inspired.
National Poetry Slam Champion well deserved
he is the most amazing poet i've ever seen.
a prophet turning air into music.
still not tired of this.
Anis Mojgani changed my life.
why is it only showing how many times i've viewed it. favorite video ever

this man knows how to arrange the perfect order of words.
Got chills. Multiple times. This is most excellent.

This guy's words make me more thankful that I'm alive. Thank you...
I'm so glad that I found this, It's so good. 😊
Love these poems every time I hear them
The rating system needs more stars for this particular man..
he has the most energy i have ever seen in a spoken word poet. KEEP WRITING ANIS!!!!
I am so late coming to this party. I had never heard of this guy. But MY GOD. WOW. Downloading MP3s as I type, adding things to my iPod, gonna carry him around for inspiration.
"Rock out like your dead grandfather just came back to take a drive with you in your brand new car" - That hit me deep, was at my grandfathers funeral earlier today. Was years ago since last I listened to any of Anis' work and somehow I felt the urge to search youtube for him today.....
i must rock out with this guy.
Without fail, every single time I hear this man speak his poems shivers run down my spine, this isn't just poetry, this is truth.
Its been on a loop for the past two years for me :D
I have shared this link to countless others as well. I remember when it have less than a thousand views on it.
Getting the pleasure to see him perform tonight #CapetownWins #LoveSA

He also helped mine be saved as well. I feel you. This is probably the unteenth time I watch this ;)

man, your poems are orgasmic... you can hear everybody moaning at the third poem... peace and good will...
Oh, don't worry about it. I didn't know know about it until you brought it to my attention so thanks.
Enjoyed your passionate reading and unique poems. And your unique word choices enhanced the emotional impact and kept me engaged throughout.
I’m a poet specializing in Japanese forms: haiku, tanka, haibun, kyoka, senryu. I hope you don’t mind me sharing a tanka and my haiku, a tribute poem to Bashō’s frog with commentary by the late AHA founder and poet Jane Reichhold who considered my Basho haiku among her top 10 haiku of all time. What an honor.
Here’s the Bashō poem and commentary:
Bashō’s frog
four hundred years
of ripples
At first the idea of picking only 10 of my favorite haiku seemed a rather daunting task. How could I review all the haiku I have read in my life and decide that there were only 10 that were outstanding? Then realized I was already getting a steady stream of excellent haiku day by day through the AHA
forum.
The puns and write-offs based on Basho's most famous haiku are so
numerous I would have said that nothing new could be said with this
method, but here Al Fogel proved me wrong. Perhaps part of my delight in this haiku lies in the fact that I agree with him. Here he is saying one thing
about realism-ripples are on a pond after a frog jumps in, but because it refers back to Basho and his famous haiku, he is also saying something about the haiku and authors who have followed him. We, and our work, are just ripples while Basho holds the honor of inventing the idea of the
sound of a frog leaping is the sound of water
As haiku spreads around the world, making ripples in more and larger ponds, its ripples are wider-including us all. But his last word reminds us all that we are ripples and our lives ephemeral. It will be the frogs that will remain.

And my tanka:
returning home
from a Jackson Pollock
exhibition
I smear my face with paint
and morph into art

-All love in isolation
from Miami Beach,
Florida,

I can't stop watching this
i have lost track the number of times i have watched this.... it is just too good, truly genius! just got his book "over the anvil we stretch" just as good.... wow!
I can't watch this video without feeling my soul tingle through my skin.
wow. super powerful. made me cry

Am I something?
Already am.

And I still have time to be.
Epic.
I just want to listen to his voice...for forever.
I loved this.
That was awesome. This man is a gift from God. Rock on my man, rock on.
I love the way he says notebook.
GOOD SHIT! So much emotion, this guy is nuts!
i adore this
Completely amazing..
I believe it goes something like this:
"...And questions are the only answers we need to have to know that we need to have the times of our lives when I have the mind of a child..."
But he's getting really into it at that point and it's hard to tell exactly how he had it written down. But he sure as hell got the message across.
Tears of hope and joy streaming down my face.
i am literally blown away. i have chills! this man really epitomizes the "pen is mightier than the word" except instead of a pen he uses words. Powerful.
you mean "pen is mightier than the sword" yeah?
I LOVE HIM.
"Rock out like the plane is going down and there are 120 passengers and 121 parachutes"
