Blake presents a poetic journey into the hidden layers shaping human behavior. It addresses social injustice, prejudice, religiosity, emotional scars, pain, anger, frustration, and confusion that exist beneath everyday appearances. Drawing on the author’s ministerial experience and love of poetry, the book explores spiritual and emotional struggles and emphasizes hope, salvation, and deliverance through God. The narrative invites readers to look beyond the

working with people,both adults and children,for overtwenty years.As a minister of religion,I have had the opportunity tointeract with people of different cultures,ethnic backgrounds andsocial status.One thing I have found in all these people is what I callhidden dissatisfaction.All of us are bothered by problems,however,some of us are troubled by things we have buried deep within becauseof shame,fear or other such factors.There are others who are swingingfrom the gallows of their\"hang ups.\"These are individuals who,like adesperate boxer,jump up each morning swinging,kicking andscratching.Let's not forget the ones who walk around with“a chip ontheir shoulder.\"I pity them,because they suffer from a misguidedconcept of themselves and others.  \nMuch of my work exalts my ethnicity,of which I am proud.I takepride in being a black man and more so,aJamaican.Not that it matters,because black,white,yellow or pink,a man is a man.Writing poetryreminds me ofmy days at elementary schoolin Jamaica.Once per week,we would have singing and/or recitation ofpoetry.I could not
