About the Author
This being his second book of poetry, following the 2006 debut of his first book, “Laughter, Love And Lust; Poetry From A Georgia Boy”, the man known as Bradley D. McCoy, has finally transcended the boundaries of his poetic interests. His first book of poetry was one of a very different area of human interest. Love, laughter, romance and sexuality. He wrote it with the intention of testing the publishing world's rules for decency. It was published, to his surprise, and now he has decided to try his hand at yet another area of human nature. The area of political interest in the world, and society in which we all live and survive. Years of watching local and national news programs, as well as becoming an avid reader of his hometown newspaper in Dalton, GA, and other more prominent, far reaching types of news media (USA Today, internet news sites, etc.) , has compelled him to write this second book of poetry. One that is filled with his ideas, opinions, and his sincere thoughts on various issues with which we deal on a daily basis, issues such as racism, prejudice and greed, the elderly, the homeless, and problems the elderly and children face in our now decaying society. Other poems are thrown in simply to increase the book's poem count, some of which are “family oriented”, while others may seem to be of a questionable or “dark” nature. However they are perceived, they are all a reflection of the man himself, and how he sees the world through his eyes, and the sincere hope that this world will, and can effect change if we all want it bad enough.
