This book is a conglomeration of miscellaneous poems written for friends, and dealing with poem suggestions from those friends. The poems are also dealing with the crazy situations occurring in our lives in this time of turmoil. Many people believe that this time we are in is mirroring the events of the Bible Book of Revelation. The poems concerning those event topics may be a bit biting to those that are not "Red Pilled." Truth will be the qualifier. A new world is in our near future, and the truth is coming to the surface.
I am a Red-Pilled, Conservative, Retired Electrical Engineer, living in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Poetry in Rhyme has not been foremost in any of my life until the end of 2020. There was just too much going on and writing about it and spreading the word just seemed right. My father, mother, older brother, and nephew also dabbled in poetry at some level.
I met my Editor Emma Clark, who also narrates the audiobook version of this project, on a Red-Pilled Program called 'Blessed 2 Teach' in early 2020. I loved her voice from the first time I heard her speak. This will be an awesome collaboration.

Creativity in all forms is a beautiful thing and I enjoy the perfect marriage of technology and art as a freelance videographer. Growing up in Independence, Missouri, piano performance and horses always vied for my attention. After moving to Southern California and raising my two sons, videography found me and I found a new passion -- telling stories of people that celebrates their individual and unique beauty through a lens. Capturing special life events is both challenging and rewarding. When Gary started sharing his prolific poetry with our B2T Backstage group in early 2020, I was both entertained and amazed at his unique wit and insightful wisdom about current world events. It is my pleasure to help bring his message of hope to our world.
