I made a video to briefly describe my book for those more visually inclined.

War took a different shape
One that was not so familiar
But they thought that my war was more valid
One that had actual bombing, shooting and destruction
But I see the validity in their pain
After all
We’re all the same
And
Divorce
Abuse
Illness
Boredom
Lack of inspiration
Are all battles we fight
None more significant than another
To those experiencing them
All teach us what we need
All point us to peace
To love
To the pursuit of happiness
Would your finger wish your hand harm?
Would your finger wish your arm harm?
Would you?
Well-being is a choice
One that helps the body rejoice
For its master
…
Would you, a small part of this universe
Wish harm
On your larger self
Your whole?
No not at all
Well being comes from well wishing
Wish well
You are more than
A name
A gender
A career choice
You are what’s underneath
Buried deep
And between a definition and another
The essence was lost
Let’s put it back together
And leave definitions for those
Unsure of who they are
I find no need for man-made
Dictionaries
Sometimes
I forget that I can change the channel
That I have the power
Sometimes
I forget that I am
Powerful
This time
I proved my own self wrong
I made my wish with a desire so strong
That even the gods couldn’t refuse it
I stood at the gates of hell
Banging on the flames they held
Wishing to have fled
Before their warnings
And I made it out alive
For you and I
To once more
Be embraced by heaven
I proved myself wrong
When I thought I could not be strong
Enough to withstand this hell I’m in
Tell me why do you keep on giving in?
He said
My words
Are not truly mine
I don’t feel the inspiration all the time
Like a river that has run dry
My fruits die
And I
Wait for the dam
To break loose
I ask him
Why
Does he continue to rely
On others to tear down the block
He looks at me with a shock
He realizes
He’s had the tools all along
Feeling empowered and strong
He breaks the barriers
And writes a new song
I’ve relied on the sun to shine
The moon to come back
The stars to glow
The trees to grow
But
Each had a cycle and a rhythm
They didn’t know
How fast I want to keep on running
So my heart
I’ll have to start
With you

Don’t cry
For the children
Starving
For you are too
Starved
Out of war emerged a Phoenix
Out of boredom of watching T.V.
You learned to look outside
Not knowing who you are
I AM HERE
Cries your ghost
But you change the channel
Then try to find inspiration
At an empty bar
Don’t cry for starving children
Cry for those
Not knowing they are starved
