The inner thoughts, trials, pain and growth of a man.......

As women and people in general we tend to tear down our black men instead of lifting them up. Yes, some have not and will not step up to the level of manhood that says they have arrived but for the most part the majority are finding their way. 

Regardless of my many relationships with black men good or bad I felt it important to still pay tribute to them for they are the backbone of our society and they need to take their place back in the household, the lives of their children and the hearts of women and mankind.   It is very obvious that women have taken the roles of our men and somehow forgotten along the way in the struggle of bringing our men back to their status of,  “Being the Man.” Through that process some women have reluctantly chosen to continue to wear their 

This book shows a wide range of black men with all of  their complexities and inadequacies but we must hear and see them for the human beings that they are, all with unique experiences and identities other than their racial profiles. 

                                                           
The soul of the black man yells out their thoughts, feelings
and emotions past and future. Take a closer look at the heart and soul of the black man. I adore and respect our men not for what they have been in the past but for the impact they are making and will continue to make in the future.  Listen to their souls that cry out……………
 


Excerpt

Issues


I have issues with the fact that life has passed me quickly so busy trying to stay alive on top of the game and somehow redeem my name

I still haven’t acquired the American dream the apple pie with the richest of richest imported milk ice cream
terrified that perhaps my dreams are a thing of the past it’s only an echo of how long my screams will last

Random thoughts stifling familiar panic I shake my head abruptly trying to find that consoling place that my hopes once again can be ecstatic

I have issues that of a
picturesque Ancient King could
have dreams that hide behind a silhouetted screen of mind state blue I have not escaped the
irony of my heart truly being free no more of pains confusion just loneliness that confines me

I should just be happy that I can exclaim my sanity and all the life and
love left that abounds me

Yet I still have issues………
