THE STORM BEFORE THE CALM

The Storm before the Calm

Sirens blowing

People rushing

Horns blowing

Accidents

Violence

Body parts

Whole bodies

Guard dogs

Crack vials

Window bars

Car alarms

Cries for help

Pit bulls

Homelessness

Don’t care

Couldn’t car

Stray bullets

Ambulances

Emergency rooms

Body bags

Oh! So many body bags

No time

On time

Too late

The world is sick and is in need of a… Continue

Caged

Caged

Freedom to dwell wherever I tread

Not confined to locations with boundaries

Zoning, districts, busing

Unleash me so I can roam free

To see mountains and rivers and trees of all sorts

To open up and breathe in fresh air

Somewhere where the sky is not blocked

but in plain view

Uncage me so I can go FREE.

Holding On

Holding On

Reaching, reaching I can’t stop now.
I have got to make it no matter how.
Stepping stepping, I’ve got to keep the pace
Grace, more grace to run this race.

How Do You Really Feel?

How Do You Really Feel?

Good morning.

How are you?

I’m fine.

How are you?

Are you always fine when you say those words?

Or are you being repetitious in your everyday greetings.

If you stop to say how you really feel,

Your morning greetings might turn into evening goodnights.

A Blank Sheet

A Blank Sheet

They enter blameless into this world, like a blank sheet of paper.

New, fresh, clean, spotless,

Just waiting to be written on,

Who will be the first to write?

Will it be Ms. Incest, Mr. and Mrs. Poverty, Madam Rape to name a few?

Or, maybe Sir Death will sign in before the others do.

Existing

Existing

Noises, curses, poverty all around

There’s hardly a moment when there is no sound.

Sad faces, stagnation, ambitions low.

Nothing is fast, it all seems so slow.

You Alone

You Alone

You Alone

You wish to move that block of stone,

to make an opening,

to pave a way.

You steadily push it before you.

Sometimes you tire.

But somehow, within, you find the strength to push.

Your walk is like beach sand.

IT IS ONLY YOU

More Marketing Tips

As many of you already know, I'm self-published and currently have three books "out there". I posted this on my good friend and book reviewer Geri Ahearn's blog a little while ago...

Writing your book is definitely the easy part of an author's journey... once you have the book in your hands, getting it out to the readers, especially if you're self-published, is probably the biggest challenge that we as authors have never really thought about (I know I DEFINITELY… Continue
