- [No Title] 05/27/2015 At the time my friend and brotha ask me to write something about my experiences I gladly jumped at the chance. After going through my thoughts I began to hesitate. I asked myself had I turned into a bitter old man. I know I sometimes sound this way to myself. At the time of this writing I am 53 years of age, and I have been locked up 33 years this August 16, 2015. My sentence is Capital murder and I received Life with No Parole for 50 years. I had no prior record. For th...

- Deliberate Ignorance Cognizance is the prerequisite to obtaining, actuating, and sustaining all rudimentary facets that are pertinent to knowledge. But knowing is only half the battle. To “know” but neglect to “do” is an intentionally driven response and a term I like to refer to as “Deliberate Ignorance”.

- Do You Know Her?? This is to all my fellow brothers, (Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, etc.) those of you have assumed the role of lover, protector, and confidant to the women in your lives. If I may, please allow me to pose this question: When you take the time to gaze into your woman's eyes, with the intimate gumption to explore the windows to her soul, who is it that you truly see? Now before you begin to verbally proclaim what may appear to be an expressive display of endearment, take the ...

- Finding Freedom Inside of Prison When man has been consciously enslaved by the omnipresent manacles of stagnation, where does he turn in order to ingest the necessary resolve needed to break free from this self—induced sense of servitude? For much of my disparaged life I was, from a comprehensive standpoint, blind and reticent to the fact that I was helping to brand upon virtually every youthful black urbanite the systematic stigma contrived to culturally, morally, and spiritually extinguish....

- (1) Being born on the cuff of desegregation and later growing up I found that theres a gap in the social fabric that has created a social foundation that has marginal separation in the races once again, establishing the arena of classicism. Classicism: Adherence to traditional standards (as of simplicity, restraint, and proportion) that are universally and enduringly valid. As one who is personally warehoused in the Missouri Department of Correction, andwho is also labeled black, my eyes have...
