A book of poetry, songs, thoughts, and prayers from the perspective of the side you didn't see.
What does "Poems from the Other Side" mean? Something I noticed about me is that I am analytical. I don't just look at issues and problems from on side like most people do. Most people are a bit selfish and only see the side that favors them. They never take the time to look at every side before making a conclusion. I however, look at the left, the right, the bottom, the top, the angles, the front, the back, the east, west, south, north, every side it has I analyze and dissect and research and once I am done, I make a conclusion that usually offends all sides. It's the truth, but not what people want to hear. So, I decided to write poetry, pros, monologues, and other stuff that come from the other side. The side you refuse to look at. The side that you don't even know exists, the side you are too afraid to look at or the side that does not benefit you. I took all the sides and created this work of art for those who are ready to see the other side. So enjoy Poems from the Other Side.
Excerpt
IDIOMS
The milk has spilled
And I will
Cry
Over it
Why?
Because the cats and dogs
Have come to rain
Not to steal thunder but
To come out of the bag
And to bark
Up the incorrect tree
A tree
Not a bush to beat
Around a bridge
To cross as you come to it
By the fence you sit on
Watching the moon which is blue
Near the cloud with lining of silver
Not copper like the penny
I gave you for your thoughts
Which you preferred I paid
An arm and a leg
But I needed my leg
To tango with you
Because it takes two
To see eye to eye
So to make a long
Story short
Don’t pull wool over people’s eyes
Because you will receive a taste
Of your own medicine
And you have heard that
Straight from the horse’s mouth
And not the grapevine
And that is the whole yard
All nine of it
Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.
Beautif
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
