Poems of a Fatherless World

John meets Malik, a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world. Together, John and Malik share a bond through the written Word. Kevin, a high school graduate, tries to find peace within himself to forgive his father, the man who abandoned him and his family when Kevin was young. Throughout his life, Kevin has held a grudge against his father, but his love for his mother and sister enabled him to grow into the man his father never was. Now, Kevin must decide if he is capable of forgiving his father for his lies and deceit. Phillip and his three daughters start to become distant as the illness of their mother, Laura, determines her fate.

As his daughters face their own trials and tribulations, Philip works earnestly to repair the disheartening spirits of his daughters. But will it be enough to carry them through in their troubled days ahead, or will the fate of their mother destroy their family once and for all.

Everyone has an internal connection that is destined to bring them closer as their troubling lives are enhanced day by day. But all things are done through Christ.

Ken Pepiton Dec 6. On the Battle field after all. Taken, gotten, or made, the point of anything can pierce through everything… slow Slow think, make real re-al-ize what fighting for life is… this is the only try, it is not a test.

Take your time, use it wisely, if that means anything. No offence, if wise is anathema to your kind, die, die if I knocked the reason for being right outa you, did you hear cognitive dissonance? Ah, I see, I say, they never tell that whole story any more. Duck'n'cover,no crying, how long? Did no one tell you, child? Taken or made, the point of anything can pierce through everything like it was nothing, given enough pre-sure-sup poser-power War, as a game, has a reason.

Battle, hitting, slapping stop touch, stop now slap slap back or cry oh no no ma waddayahsay? A theist or atheist who started this war? Radioman, a sixty cycle white-noise humm heard every where these days There was a gospel song, "Turn Your Radio On". By sharing an ion ic bond as a quest to make a point for a free story to go, the question marks you. Let the snake dance. Press your point, whetted edge, slice through ties holding worthless axioms with withered dendrites dangling disconnected in participles unfired for centuries muttering, enchanting, enthralling enchained melodies of ambitious syllables vying for idle minds to rope in, unbranded, wild bucking ideas, whew, tangle wood and catclaw and mesquite, willow thicket, wait.

And the old man remembered the willow whistle, so He asked Grandfather, How is such a whistle made? And when he knew, he made one. A willow whistle with two notes, like an Oscar Meir Wiener one. I got lost here, bucked up… maybe listen, way back we-ain't whistlin' Dixie D'thet mean some sign to phet ic take? Ancient cannon fodder shield walls, a moaning Pro-phy-lactic warning of the danger of not knowing exactly what a war is for?

Get back on, relieved of any idle baggage words believed to mean other than I say. Loose those peer-locked memes made of meaninglessness, per se, shaped and molded into fashions of expression, once needles and awls, now, dull as tinker's damns for swearing, with any effect. Included in the book is the life of John Hopewell. He has lost his wife and son and is drowning his sorrows and living on the streets.. There is also the story of a high school graduate who hates his father. His father had left him long ago. He grows into a man that his father would never have been. He did it with the loving help of his mother and sister.

Then there is Phillip who is struggling with 3 daughters and an ailing wife. I really enjoyed the fact that the author put poetry before each story. It's like going to the movies and having intermission. The author through his stories and poetry lets us see that we are not alone. God is just waiting for our acceptance as the one and only God of the universe. I found the stories make you take a look into yourself. What do I believe? The author has combined an array of poems and short stories that are so wonderfully written. The writings pull at your emotions and the way you are thinking in so many different ways.

You feel that you are right beside the character, seeing and feeling first hand what they are going through. I found the poetry to be so wonderful. I just couldn't keep but reading. It makes you reflect on how you've treated others. A lot of emotions will surface as you read this book. The only fault I found was the book was just a little pushy about religion. I would have preferred to just focus on the stories and especially the poetry.

That could be because I'm not a real religious person. My favorite poem was Troubled Minds. I would recommend this book to those who believe and those who don't.
