About this ebook
Black lives matter! A poem inspired by today's event. Our days are becoming more volatile with each passing day and biases of yesteryear that should be buried are live and well in 2016. The opportunity to forever change our country is about to slip away and that in itself is a crime.
It is time once and for all for all people of this country to be and American not their color.
Stand and demand your blood right and do not accept excuses of a Government that has failed us all on so many levels.

Today I have finished my 1000 plus poems. Some I will post for free, some I will hide in darkness and some I will sell as justification of my time spent and the love poems i will lock away just for me.Still, I have decided to stay with free verse riddled with humor. I know my peers frown upon my work which just drives me berserk. I do not judge others harshly even if I disagree with their work.So, with that in mind, I will just write them into one or more of my poems for others to laugh at as relive their pain and mine.So please continue with me on my lengthy journey because it is going to be a wild ride, I've only scratched the surface of two brain cells to date, 100,000 more to go!Feel free to be positive about my writings and if you feel the need to be negative do what I do when I take a poop, flush the unwanted crap down the drain.
