Youth Poet Amanda Gorman Recites Poem At Presidential Inauguration | NBC News
Inspiring! Gives us a senses of hope again.
👎👎👎👎👎👎 lmao
more educated than AOC.
How cute. What a sad poem. It sucked.
But I love her courage. Keep trying girl. And buck up. America used to be free. Now we are communists. The future is grim and our past was freedom. She is way too young to have a clue of what she is even talking about. Someone lied to this little girl. How sad
I’ve never heard such ignorance. She sounds so ignorant
Wow. So very lame
*this is pure garbage, I see exactly what they’re doing by putting this young black lady up here*
This is called a *’Ron Jeremy’* poem
@George Jackson why would I?
@jamesblond516 *why not?*
@George Jackson because there’s no reason to? Also, why are you typing in bold?
@jamesblond516 there’s a *REASON* for everything
I’m a *bold* person
@George Jackson you’re a weird person lol. What’s the reason in this case?
We gonna banzai into a better union or something
Brilliant. If you’re good enough, you’re old enough! Amanda nailed this one beautifully. This couldn’t happen at a Trump event because it is always about him.
“And the norms and notions of what just is isn’t always justice” – such wise words from a poised, articulate speaker. Just brilliant
Beautiful ❤️ tears of joy and peace.
This child literally presented the entire American history in few lines of her proem and also described the entire future of America in those few lines. She provided a message of hope for Americans in those few lines of her poem that would take 50 sermons preached in church to accomplish. To prove me wrong , just rewatch the video with a small dictionary next you for words research to understand word by word and its definition.
That was beautiful
Future President right there!
i loved it amazing just go girl black lives matter
Simply…cathartic.
I couldn’t help but cry as I heard her speak of justice, of peace, of hope, and of light. Her words make me believe again and give me strength. The future will be bright because we will make it so.
Phenomenal young African woman….YES MA’AM SMART , AMBITIOUS & A LEADER!!!! THANK U FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT🙌🏽
Beautiful
Well done well done. What a tremendously beautiful and brilliant young woman. BRAVO
Although I’m a huge fan of Lopez and GaGa, In years to come,, it is this young woman I will remember and speak about to my grandchildren. I’m inspired by her grace, truth, intellect, poise and beauty.
She is such an inspiration. When i watched her live yesterday i started crying because it was so beautiful and powerful. She is so beautiful and young, and i’m sure is an inspiration for many other young girls out there.
“We’ve learned that quiet isnt always peace” 😭✊🏽🙏🥺
This poem should be mandatory at every antifa insurgence.
From John P. Read : “It’s only through mistakes we make We learn where we went wrong.”
Amazing
There is always light if only we are brave enough to see it!
Amanda, what a performance: perfect, flawless, beautiful.
You are a shining star with a bright future. The world is watching.
She is powerful !!!! Elegant, Eloquent, and Articulate… Cannot help welling up listening to this young woman.
“Recite” ? She WROTE the poem, not just recited it.
👏👏
Here to say, GREAT Spanish captions, very accurate and some of the rhyming is even maintained. I used this in my classroom to allow my native Spanish-speaking students to enjoy this beautiful poem. Thanks, NBC!
@nolifeshaq
Imagine being such a wanker you dislike this speech
Speechless….wow….amazing
Life is like a job interview. They cannot hire you if you are not the right candidate. However Biden showed us that my comment is not a fact.
As a poet. She spit this beautifully
She just made Ivanka, all the trumpas children his wife and trumpas himself be insignificant as a thought in the imagination, that in reality where person’s that try to distroy everything that was rite and dignity, and to top it off destroy America and democracy, what ashame, what shame, what a shame.
I would like to know, if the woman that appears several times dressed in purple is Amanda Gorman’s mother.
What an absolutely brilliant young woman she has raised.
Roses are red
Violets are blue.
Joe stole this election
and has dementia too.
Intelligence and courage at this level is what is needed to balance the ignorance and fear of the Qanon imbeciles
…in comparison to our “extremely dry procedures in Germany” I really liked all the “show elements” and selection of songs – “This land is you’re land …” and than “amazing grace ” and the wonderfully “hill we climb” recite transported a spirit of hope & change & decancy – there is great chance now, the transatlantic relations will change for the better! Hallo from Europe!
Hello, From America!
Truly inspirational…I’m still tearing up. Powerful message from a remarkable young lady! God Bless America! 🙏😷❤️
so hopeful strong and inspiring, I almost feel positive about the future <3
That “just is” and “justice” really got me.
Lol
Hopefulness
Absolutely gorgeous way to start off a new year and a time to come together.
Amanda your poem and delivery were just perfection. Thank you!
Finger snaps!
So stunning and brave. Everyone get on your knees and start worshiping her. 🤣
Sean? Lol
beautiful !!!!!!!!
Eh, poem was fine, bit long winded and had some rough transitions imo.
Beautiful, but democracy can and will be defeated eventually when Jesus returns.
America will continue to fall as long as it disobeys God’s word.
Praying
The eloquence of this young beautiful woman is beyond admirable while Indeed comendable, as if inspired by the breath of the Gods and Goddesses of justice and freedom. This young womans inertia of vitality clearly has the eloquent blessings of arts and science that perhaps students of liberal arts aspire to acheive during a quest of a life long carrer. The blessings of the Greek Goddess Mnenosyne that in symbolism represents memory and time, along with the blessings of her nine beautiful daughters the eloquent Muses of the arts and sciences seem to be present in this beautiful young womans accomplished literal works of art . The recitle of her poem before a leading nation in world affairs (U.S.A.) and a world audience of peoples of different races and beliefs throughout that are in hopes of ataining at the very least a glimps at true freedom not only inspires the souls of hope within men and women in the quest for freedom it self, rather its focus and emphasis is directed towards the collective consciousness of each individuals responsabilties owed to Liberty her self by the endowed God given rights bestowed on each person as an individual, that she Liberty must never be taken for granted or left unattended so as never to have her clothing of love, justice and prosperity be torn off by hate and impunity that wishes to bear her naked, so as to jest with laughter and fault towards her nakedness. The attentitive entire world audience that listened to this poem in many ways seeks and looks to the flaming tourch of Liberty her self of the United States Of America for the justice of peace and liberty for all. once again people needed to be reminded that Liberty her self is present in every part of this global world of ours and that her honorable presence is deemed of high esteem and great value of worthyness that must not be ever taken advantage of by corrupt goe-political party ideals and special interests that are contrary to human desency and human values. As one thats been enamored with greek epic mythological writtings and the hidden etymological meanings on how the geeks explained the quest for humanities freedom optained only by the divine intervention bestowed upon humanity for the efforts of good deeds that will indeed have the power to break the chains of bondage, oppretion and slavery. Even though Greeks themselves at that time were slave owners themselves of those demanding slave times, they also wrote about the honor and responsability they had in upholding to the Gods for humanities wellbeing and freedom to be from the chains of bondage. In refference to the eloquence of this young beautiful womans poem, speach and mannerism her message was certainly of divine inspiration much in likeness to that of the God of eloquence and messenger of the Gods Hermes with his Saraphic tri-winged message. I for one emplore good wishes and best of luck to all America in its future days of trails and ordeals that are yet to take place. Because I for one also find my self on the spherecal-wheel of fortunes balance pleading for to land on a prosperous good Lot of freedom, while the the Goddess Of Fortune looks on to me holding her Conocopia in one hand and the rudder in her other hand deciding on my fate.
Wow. That was so powerful.
Sheeit
Well done, young lady!
That was so beautiful ❤️
Just finished watching this young LADY, she is amazing. Wow!!!
Much Love from Germany. May the young people finally change the world to a better place! <3
This will go down in history. To history: We was here 🙏🏿❤️
“…Being American is more than a pride we inherit… it’s the past we step into and how we repair it…”
great job to amanda, an inspiration to all–even my 83 year old grandmother
She brought me to tears 😭. Expressing my feelings, hearing and feeling these words. Beautifully invoking what we NEED and PRAY for in these turmoiled unsettling days. She has definitely given more hope for our future 💯🌎
Bravo🙏💞💕💞
Goosebumps. Beautiful.
👧🏿👧🏿👧🏿

The power and beauty of WORDS…🤗
Very good.
❤️❤️❤️
Her words make me feel like I can breathe again.
PB Shelly. This is the bigotry of low expectations. Read Thomas Sowell.
She means well.
Wow so beautiful
Amazing choice by the inaugural committee. Thanks for giving her this opportunity. This poem was put together within the last month and mostly since the 6th. Such an amazing woman!
The cadence she uses is so cringe
My heart is filled!💖
Is it me or does she seem like she could be president?
Love the way she Expresses herself 😯
its one thing to make a point, but all the hand waving is so pretentious, she was casting a spell i guess
She is an American treasure.
yoooo… is it cold here or are my chills coming from her words…
Wow! So beautiful!! What a truly gifted gifted and special young lady. I’ve seen her recite this poem many times now and I learn something new each time all the while fighting back tears.
So powerful and beautiful
Right on.
wow
Meh
Gloriously 👋💜
🇺🇸🙏🌺
Is this the reincarnation of Ms. Maya Angelou? Ms. Amanda you are wiser beyond your years, bravo!!
So beautiful🥺
United in one 🙏🤝🤝
“Our blunders becomes their burdens”- OMG!!!!!That’s the reason we should put sustainability first in all decisions we make.
Would not be surprised to see this amazing poem be part of the American education curriculum. 🇮🇪 💚 🇺🇸
That was beautiful & breath taking
