EXCERPTS
1.
Talking back with disrespect
Thinking it makes them grown
After a while, there is no child
Because now they’re on their own
2.
I need her to pray with me
Morning noon and night
So that our kids embrace life
And symbolize what’s wrong and right
3.
I saw a little boy in school one day
He seemed troubled and distraught
I asked if he had a dad at home
He’s in jail because, he got caught

America
is Broken
Book Description: America is built on the foundation of RACISM and protest. Some people don’t understand what it is like to always be on guard. I would like to share with the rest of the world some of the things that I have experienced in regards to my son’s military career, teaching, students, marriages, and personal walks as a man of God. After the world takes the time to embrace the experiences that I have, It will give them an opportunity to rethink some of their actions, embrace their relationships with their significant others, family members, and people in general. There is also some light hearted poetry that I hope will put a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. Thank you in advance for allowing me the opportunity to share my experiences with you.
