About the Book

An Amazon #1 Bestseller in African-American Poetry.

From the author who brought you The 7 Lamps Of Inspiration comes another powerful poetic book meant to change the landscape of mankind's morality and humanity. PRAISE FOR VOICES FROM THE GHETTO "The poems I have read thus far are introspective and truly try to bring to light a want for more positivity among blacks, actually among any human."- Ani Best "Voices from the Ghetto paints a vivid picture of a change needed but most of all it gives you the courage to stand up and make a change."- Author Tamyara Brown "Reading this book shows the rawness of the unsung in the ghetto. When I read it, I felt the pain, I felt the heartache, but I felt the hope."- Jaime Perry "It takes serious power to write like this."- Ashley Elizabeth "This book will go down in history, I have so enjoyed the writing."- Lisa Holden-Christiansen This book is dedicated to the memory of the great poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, as well as Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Oscar Grant III, Mike Brown and other young black men who were killed because of racial stereotypes. Voices From The Ghetto is a collection of powerful urban stories told using poetry. This book is meant to do two things. One to bring awareness to the lives of those who live in the ghetto and other urban and impoverished areas. These people have stories that no one hears about. When we hear about them in the news we don't see them as people, thus this books is meant to bring back humanity to those who we have dehumanized. The second thing this book is meant to achieve is to inspire those living in the ghetto to not just achieve their destiny but become a destination for others to follow. It is meant to show people that they can conquer their environment and that no matter where you are born or what colour your skin is you can achieve greatness and even immortality. This book was inspired by books like The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela's The Long Walk To Freedom, Maya Angelou's I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings to name a few. So if you want to read a book meant to not just inspire minorities but also to give voices to the people whose stories we don't know about. Then this book is for you, your children and your grand-children. My hope is that book can help save lives and stop the stereotypical killings like the Trayvon Martins, Jordan Davis's, Oscar Grants, Mike Browns and the others who have been killed for no other reason than the colour of their skin and the prejudices that go with that skin. Read this excerpt from on of the poems in this book and if you are moved emotionally, then download your copy today and don't delay the chance to have this breath-taking powerful book in your library "We have lost too many princes and princesses It breaks my heart seeing this It breaks my heart seeing how low we have gone Is this what Rosa Parks sat for? Is this what Malcolm X fought for? Is this what MLK died for? Is this what Maya Angelou wrote for? Is this what Barack Obama ran for? Make yourself more than a man Or a woman Make yourself an idea Don't just chase your destiny Become a destination For others to follow And if you can't change the narrative of the gate keepers Then aspire to be a gatekeeper And change the narrative for the generations to come Let us not have anymore Trayvon Martins Jordan Davis's Oscar Grants Isn't it ironic that the same media Who were outraged at Martin's killing May have been the very ones who helped pull the trigger."
