More than ANYTHING I truly appreciate the comments.THANK YOU for listening and sharing.

[@kwamestamps35]

How ironic that the system gives you so much material to draw on and fuels your gift. I just showed my 91 year old mother your creation. She loved it. Carry on good sir!

Your creativity interpretation of the the system is beyond AMAZING.

[@Gracie4012_]

After randomly seeing a video of IG of nostalgic sounds of tv programs from my millennial chuldhood it made me think of this poem. I still can't get over the message...a much needed one still today. Thank you, sir!

[@patricecarley]

I wish that every African American man, woman, boy and girl could be blessed with this message! That was the truth! Bless you my brother!

[@Gracie4012_]

My thoughts exactly

[@pictureofmyjunk2279]

The best spoken word I have ever heard.

[@HOOKEM_2003]

One of my favorite spoken word pieces of all time. Much respect Mr. Powell

[@jimmyy1536]

Sadly, people still will not understand where he is coming from because of the system.

[@nathanfrahm]

Yes, sir. Those who get it, don't need to be told. They already know. Those who truly need this knowledge will not understand, or will refuse to listen.

[@TomiaMacQueen]

Black Panther There is hope. I havr young people that heard it for the first time and were like "Yes"! They got it so bad they wanted to make the adults & other youngster around them got it. What you say is likely true of adults set in the system but this gives me Real hope for our youngsters.

[@HighEntropyRecords]

Sorry but, to say this, implies he doesn’t convey his point with effect!

Timeless work of art.

You have put my "unspoken" words that I say to my interns and mentees, into "spoken words" that I believe will truly help them. Thank you so much for unknowingly supporting what I teach and for a true education. #1908

[@Bediane1]

This is so powerful, I could feel it in my bones! I'm sharing it with all my people. The delivery is especially creative. I'm impressed and proud of this young man!

[@GeishaBlack]

I closed my eyes listened to this flow four times already for the morning. This is some deep stuff. Words well said Mr. Prentice Powell, words well said.

[@TheRomanticTruth]

"The Ray Charles of Poetry"! I call you a phonemic poet with the boldNess to call us out and show it as you explain so vividly the things even the blind man sees! your voice will speak volumes and move mountains in lives of others! I use that quote up above to the late Ray because I was taught that a gift and a talent are not the same... for you have a calling and the will to bring about change! for like Ray everything even family had to come second to his pen/music but he was for the world, and a humanitarian that overcame adversity and God sent. So I speak prosperity into your life may you continue to point out the jagged edges in society and life. you inspire me to keep writing/singing as well! much love & respect Powell!!! -The Romantic Truth

[@d3sir3m3]

Standing ovation for this piece.....the message is powerful and true.

[@sgill9679]

Beautifully inspiring, undoubtedly educating and skilfully articulated. I've somehow unintentionally allowed my core to stray away from being driven by my thoughts and hearing you has helped me find that inspiration to get back to writing. Thank you for being the only YOU there could ever be and for being brave enough to allow us into your world one word at a time!!

I just recently heard about you by watching you on aspire channel reciting a spoken word piece. I thought it was awesome and I decided to look you up on KZbin. I was very impressed by what I've heard thus far... But this one, "The System" WOW! Absolutely blew me away. Not just the content but also the delivery.... As another commenter said "An absolute work of art." God bless you young man and keep up the good work.👍🏽👊🏽👌🏽

[@almightyant90]

Bruh I was just re-watching your selection on Verses and Flow and I gotta say it blew me away for the third time. I think many like myself in that audience was pleasantly shocked by the message of your poem. I appreciate what you had to say b/c many of us tend to say our peace in quiet which does nothing to help another, or we ignore whats going on altogether. Everything you said holds power and I hope many of us soon realize what kind of world we're living before its too late.
