‘Six Realms of Faith’

God Needs To Be Involved!

A sample from Book 4

 Six Realms of Faith
  
 having an idea
 ‒one that's clear
 strips the fear
 ‒a free-thinker's agenda
 a place your life
to steer
  
 adding content
 ‒liberating a commitment
 instead of settlement
replacing resentment
 ‒being legitimate
instead of being stuck
 in a clique's common placement
  
 having an individual voice
it's a choice
 instead of being a toy
for others to enjoy
 ‒standing out
on your own paved soil
  
 saying what you mean
with fluency
 ‒not living
in hypocrisy
 strips away life's crazy
stops the path of lazy
 smack-dab
in the middle
of its lunacy
  
 perfecting convections
 improving slang's grammafications
  
 turning into a professional
 leads to graduation
adds promotions
 in this world of intoleration
  
 putting it all together
 a profession's
perfect presentation
 ready for any situation
 walking away
from damnation
without hesitation
  
 for I am
in life
a worthy publication
  
 my world
always
a learning reflection
 of mistakes made
every word heard
 I can turn around
all situations
 with these six realms of faith
 I can change
my fate

‘Ignoring Secular’

Teach About Jesus! Please Do!

A sample from Book 4

 Ignoring Secular

‘To Save a Few’

Educating the Young: The Struggle Is Real!

A sample from Book 4

  To Save a Few
  
 students we teach
 ―just want to guide them
set them assail
 so they’ll flourish
never fail
 but like a wooded trail
their path is blocked
 their doors are closed
 their heads are hard as rock
 giving up...too lame
staying...sane
  
 they’re from a flock of
I don’t give a damns
 coming to a world of
I don’t understands
 to help them is a curse
to ignore them...worst
  
 you think you get in—
 only an hour
they’re in your den
  
 then they’re set loose
 they’re heads’ in a noose 
  
 if we could see
above their anger
 wipe away all the danger 
  
 if only to save a few
 to wake up again
to the morning dew

Don’t Fix What Ain’t Broken!

A sample from Book 4

That was my question as I went through year after year of constantly starting over as a teacher. Yes, there’s things broken with the American education system…but they are constantly trying to fix the wrong things.

The following is from the Introduction to my 4th Book in My 12-Book Series during my denial stage where I focused on everything outside of myself and my home instead of focusing on the important stuff. What I discovered will amaze you! The only thing I could do was write a book about it and offer simple solutions to what the higher-ups makes so complex.

Reading American History In Rhyme!

In order to understand what it means to be an American you have to actually study American history. The following is from the Introduction my 3rd Book in My 12-Book Series. As I stated below, this wasn’t my intention, but we do follow the path that God sets for us.

“How do we confront our past without destroying our own selves in the process? Just like the next person, we want to deny what we’ve done and move on without ever thinking about it again. But do we really come to terms with it? It is the year 2017. I’m sitting in yet another apartment. Apartment 714. It is strange. That number adds up to 12. That number can mean a lot of things like the 12 tribes in the Bible. The 12 months of the year. The 360. The chance to start fresh. A new year’s beginning.

A lot has happened in my life since this book was written. A lot has changed. Then, again, a lot remains the same.

My Focus On Politics

As I Lived In Denial and Isolation!

A sample from Book 2

You go back and review the past 10 years or so. The following is from Book 2 in My 12-Book Series. It was part of my denial stage when American politics took a front seat to what was happening beneath the surface.

“Writing about history, much less history in rhyme, was never my dream but something deep inside redirected my journey.

Throughout history, I’ve realized, poems live on pass the generations who wrote them. It is also our reality that America’s younger generations rather music than reading books. If you listen to their music—not just hear but listen—you’d realize that each verse is in rhyme. Lyrics are poetry. With this in mind, and as a former teacher, writing history in rhyme makes sense.
