Freedomland Blues

This poetry collection will introduce your assumptions, denials and compliance to the tainted reality of "the City on the Hill." The poems in this collection reflect a "dirty blues" perspective of the contradiction that America has always been, is today, but doesn't have to continue to be. You will be shaken and moved. You will feel the gluttonous furnace of scorched earth democracy, and descend into the commotion, the atmosphere "We the People" swim in. But, despite the bad things that might happen, the bad things that most often happen, these stanzas of Blues-toned perseverance will rebuke any plummeting into self-pity, anger or hate; every heart and mind: once bowed head, cautious mouth and averted eyes, will aspire to an incorrigible aim to misbehave. Throughout freedomland blues, the author writes words in fire to wake the world ablaze: free verse illuminated by courage that empathizes with all the awful moments, launching a freight train warning that blazes from the heart, like a chambered bullet exploding inadvertently. now, runantellyomamaboutdat!!
