“Game of Thrones” actor Peter Dinklage recited an extremely cringeworthy poem dedicated to Renee Good, the anti-ICE activist killed by an ICE agent during an altercation in Minneapolis.
The poem, entitled “For Renee Good,” was written by Amanda Gorman, best known for reciting a spoken-word poem at President Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021.
“They say she is no more,/ That there her absence roars,/ Blood-blown like a rose./ Iced wheels flinched & froze./ Now, bare riot of candles,/ Dark fury of flowers,/Pure howling of hymns,” Dinklage recited in the clip that’s been circulating online.
“If for us she arose,/ Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,/ Crouches our power,/ The howl where we begin,/ Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater/ Of the worst of what we’ve been,” the poem continues.
“Change is only possible,/ & all the greater,/ When the labour/ & bitter anger of our neighbors/ Is moved by the love/ & better angels of our nature./ What they call death & void,/ We know is breath & voice; / In the end, gorgeously,/ Endures our enormity.”
It concludes: “You could believe departed to be the dawn/ When the blank night has so long stood./ But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,/ When they forever are so fiercely Good.”
The poem was posted by Gorman last month. She’s the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate in 2017 and was also dubbed “the worst poet in America” by The Daily Wire’s own Ben Shapiro.
“She’s like if Shel Silverstein were clobbered by a two-by-four and after being run over by a truck,” Shapiro said of her poetry skills. “Trite, stupid, awful trash.”
Gorman has recited poetry about liberals, including failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris. She also came under fire for rewriting the words to The Star Spangled Banner in 2022.
Celebrities, in particular, have latched onto Renee Good as being a martyr for their anti-ICE cause. Several A-listers have been spotted wearing “ICE OUT” and “BE GOOD” pins at various Hollywood events and have spoken publicly on the topic.
