Book Cover & Preview Text
The Blues:
Everyone wants to feel the rhythm but, not the blues.
However, these blues are real that had tears shedding from my eyes
to where it burned with mixed emotions of sadness, depression, and anger.
Take a journey of these blues that I have experienced and you’ll see
how vivid and real they are to me.
Controversy:
The injustices of the world through the eyes of the people
must be heard and seen. From being judged by who you are
to what you look like has caused pain, hurt, and life changing
moments that will never be the same for a person.
From being ridiculed as a person with a disability and how I look
to witnessing the discrimination of others in different situations
has caused me to take charge in making a change in not only for myself,
but, for those that need to be heard and seen, once and for all.
Fabricated System
School systems brainwash students
to the point that real history is missing.
Missing because the truth scares people
the system doesn’t want us to know the real thing.
All they want the students to know is lies
and you wonder why some people don’t know things?
Textbooks are made but missing facts.
Facts from the past that changed the world
adults try to influence students with stereotypes.
Stereotypes and controversy starts war
they say history repeats itself
honestly, it doesn’t have to be.
Some faculty are here for the money
some really don’t have the best interest for students.
School systems and government are a joke
some of the people are probably crooked
I bet they weren’t even background checked.
So many dropouts due to inconsiderate
so many failures because the schools aren’t serious.
At the end of the day, school systems are a joke
I state this because they have no interest.
No interest to help the kids succeed
but, so caught in discrimination.
When will dropouts and discrimination end?
Hopefully soon, it shouldn’t be part of the schedule
especially not in the curriculum for subjects.
They say ignorance is a bliss
if it was a bliss, why do people act on it?
The right formula could help,
help for the people in need of it.
No child deserves to be left behind
is that why the bill was passed?
Some students have potential
others can apply but feel something missing.
Why missing for?
Maybe you should ask the teacher
or better yet ask the system.

About the Book
Sitting in my room
thinking what’s there outside?
It’s 2 in the morning
and I’m dreaming.
Is there a window open?
For my dreams to come true …
Window opens for opportunities

hoping each time is right
and at a right place
with so many things to do
and so many to be fulfilled.
