I'm not a huge fan of most spoken word poetry (the amateur metaphors,the fake over-performed emotions, the cliché sociopolitical statements), but this one is actually really good. The toy store/foster home comparison is quite accurate and original, yet at the same time a disturbing juxtaposition. The emotions are real; the performers aren't just shouting for the sake of shouting as many young amateur spoken word poets unfortunately do. Good job.
Goose bumps. All. Over.
I swear Brand New Voices is so wonderful to have kids like this
These poems make me wanna cry.
All these kids in Brand New Voices are so damn talented!!
Wow I can't believe this was 10 years ago. Still gives the same chills.
I love this one!
one word: Amazing!
love it
@venusofthemoon These are crazy.. They are lucky to have these kids.
Brave, Brave New voices
