I just want to take the time out to appreciate this poet. I am not a fan of poetry, not in the slightest however, this…well this is just powerful. Okay, this has no relevance to grammar but she is right. Mr Gove just needs to take a step back and understand the bigger picture. I’m a fourteen year old school girl, who stumbled across this, yet I find peace in everything she says, knowing that someone understands how I feel, and can portray it in such a way that is frankly moving. This woman deserves so much respect and has truly earned mine in five minutes.
Written and performed by poet Jess Green.
Part of her first full length show, currently in development for Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2014.
