Poetry As Poetry

About the Book

About The Book

On June the first, I was lying down, feeling a sense of uselessness, and said “God, I am a human creation from you, and I feel I need to utilize this great creation. Please guide me into a creative state.” The next thing I knew, I was at my computer writing thirty poems within a few hours. The next night I wrote twenty poems, then another thirty-plus, and so on, for ten days. Then it left as quickly as it came.

This book is not so much a revolution in poetry, but more a flash of creative energy coupled with prophetic thought and contemplations on contemporary society, brought forth through poetic verse, and displayed in a spiritually patterned form. The poems are all based on my deepest observations and life’s experiences, which brought me to this critical state where I find myself and the world around me. They are inspired reflections on political and regular life, brought to me from a higher power, inscribed by my hand, and fed into this world from my mind for people to understand the wrongs of this unbalanced structured economic system that feeds on the weakest and most vulnerable of our species. I believe life is on a dangerous path, and we must collectively work toward a more socially conscious society and stop making decisions based on thoughtless animal instincts, such as selfishness, want, and desire. This collection of poems reflects the innermost desperation I feel—that all human beings should hearken to the understanding that all is not well with the consciousness of the world in which we live. This book is designed for people who feel that same sense of urgency and who care deeply about this planet. I hope from these writings you get a sense of belonging that ignites the activist in you, so you, too, can voice your dissatisfaction with these beings who are guiding our society and planet into a state of chaos.

About the Author

Well, where should I start? I guess you’ll have to read my other books to discover my early beginnings. Here I am going to enlighten you on my current state of being. First you should know that I am an artist—a painter first—but an artist, which simply means a creator and a reader of perceptions. You may ask what a reader of perceptions is. In brief, it is one who sees the world in detail at the microscopic level, which goes beyond the physical and into the world of the cosmic mind. When I find a penny on “tails,” for example, I see it as a warning of things to come—not a single penny in a single day—but rather a penny per day on “tails,” for many days, suggesting a pattern. It’s this type of perception to which I have fortunately grown accustomed and find myself enraptured in. The penny is just the tip of this mountain of patterned perceptions I have noticed. Such signs yield even deeper perceptions when they are in the form of people discussing subjects you either dreamt of or thought of a day, a month, a year, or even many years prior. You experience deeper perceptions when you can stand by someone or be miles from them and feel their anxiety and anger radiating through the air.

I wouldn’t classify myself as a psychic but I do know that something is happening to me and has been happening for many years. I believe it has always been with me, and since I started an intense reading campaign about four years ago of mostly ancient history and science, this phenomena has increased in intensity. Isaac Newton was right that in these ancient stories lay science and eternal wisdom! I wrote recently that “I am not living the life I wanted but living the life that is wanted of me.” This statement is so revealing when combined with my perceptions that it becomes surreal. You can equate it to the story in the novel by Willa Cather, One Of Ours, where a young man realizes he was born to die at a certain place and time in this great play called life. It can become discouraging when you realize that you destiny is just that, “A Destiny,” and that no matter what you do to change it, you are simply fulfilling the program, but it’s this program that guides us to eternal life. Think about this, folks: a young woman, barely a teenager, gets a call from a spirit, leads an army to victory, and is then executed by the people who raised her to glory earlier on in her calling. Yes, my friends, it’s Joan of Arc, and her story is as magical as they come. The Church says it represents the spirit of God, yet when parishioners speak of this spirit revealing things to them, the priests look at them as if they were mad. I think it’s time for the world to accept and learn about this invisible spirit force that moves within our atmosphere and is here for us to connect to. I believe bad things only happen to people who are not truly connected to this energy. It’s not that the energy does not like or want us; it’s that we do not understand it. We are not taught properly or in depth about how this spirit energy lives within us. I have seen this field at work; I have been without the field and fell to misery and been with the field and raised up and out of the daily hindrances of life.

I have seen the future and know what will become of me, and I can say in all thought that life is not as mundane as we humans make it, but instead a mixture of unbelievable chambers on different levels in dimensional space and time, some very frightening and others wondrous beyond belief. So banish fear from your being, for it will just feed on itself and start nurturing your own internal abilities of dimensional sight and perceptions. Most of all, reconnect to the spirit of the eternal creation.

May The Spirit Be With You!
