The Death Of Joy Gardner Comments

I don’t like this poem

This is an exceptionally well-written, meaningful poem. Thanks for sharing the theme and message of your work with the world! 10+++

This is all about injustice and discrimination that should be discouraged in every walk of life......very well scripted with powerful feelings 10++

'No matter what the law may say A mother should not die this way Let human rights come into play' - Yes, you are absolutely right. A heart touching poem. Congratulations to the poet on its selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

How the alien deporters (As they said to press reporters) Can feel absolute relief.......oh the last line is very pathetic; it seems in this world everything is okay but not equally; every constitution is the true helper of muscle man; true assistant of superpower aristocracy; in this world the human rights are okay not for the under poverty line dweller; press reporters have rights to write and spread the news of death otherwise they have no need in this venomous world

Deportation. Activities against the will of God. Man forgets humanity. What an insane world. Sick to the core. God alone has planned a solution!

I see my people demonstrating And educated folks debating The way they're separating The elder from the youth, very fine poem. tony

She died, Nobody killed her And she never killed herself. It is our job to make her Return to Jamaica Said the Alien Deporters.. Great imagination, tony

Powerful poem, courtesy of Benjamin Zephaniah. The death of Joy Gardner highlights the injustices of the Windrush Scandal. The political elites here in the U.K should be deeply ashamed.

Yah this is a sick world. The Lord made this earth for ALL human beings, the borders we put are artificial and the poverty that other races endure is because of colonialism and imperialism. When you deport another human being know that you have rejected your own humanity and the God you so much love will gnash his teeth and perstilence will befall you. Every time we are cruel to Gods creations man animal or the forests God punishes us.

so so moving but so so true and still things like this happen. humanity must wake up

Thanks for composing this poem and sharing it with us, so horrific, and none of the brutal officers jailed for it! ! !

Yes mothers need attention.We should treat human beings equal as there is no thick blood.

keep shouting Benjamin some of us are listening. Your language is yours and it cuts a white girl like me every time change for the better only happens slowly but it will happen
