Awaken: True Life Experiences Expressed Through Poetry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781426913853)

The poems included in Awaken were derived from the author's personal experiences with his family and friends; including social, economic, humanitarian, and world issues. This enlightening volume is written in a universal language that will appeal to everyone. The thoughts and ideas presented in his poetry are intended to provoke the conscience and awaken the hearts of men to respect women and each other.

Universal themes that expose wrongs, beckon change, recognize our differences, and respect each other acknowledge the existence of the supreme one. Valuing life as a gift, while finding the motivation in someone or something, is critical to our everyday existence. These subjects, though sensitive, are real-life situations that affect an array of persons at unexpected times. These changes may begin through introspection, reflecting on one's blessings or through the forgiveness of oneself or others that have done them wrong.

Awaken is an important step in the process that each of us must follow to find strength within irrespective of the circumstances of life. It is also critical to remember that you are never alone. We all deserve the right to be empowered, to labor, to academic dreams, to be heard, to be loved, and the right to be human.
