How Deep Is Drowning?: A Poetic Commentary On The Challenges Facing A Mosaic America

The human spirit is endowed with hope, love, and perseverance. These gifts are passed to us through the teachings of our ancestors, intended to help improve our prospects for a brighter future. However, the brighter future is dimming, as we find ourselves amid a struggle between materialism and basic need; between unification and division. The impact of this struggle has splintered our communities, turning what was once a collective future into the pursuit of individual endeavors. How Deep Is Drowning is a poetic commentary on the journey from the darkness of slavery, through the perils of segregation, to the continuous challenges facing a mosaic America. Linking the key events of yesteryear to the current events of today, each poem serves as a call to action for the removal of barriers and falsehoods dividing our nation. It underscores the power of hope, the vigilance of love, and the necessity of perseverance.
