The Annihilation OF Mental Oppression The Emergence A Poet

The ultimate reality is that of the Yin Yang, to embrace the light is to understand the darkness. This thing we call life happens in that gray area which bonds the two extreme. This is the definitive collection of poetry and spoken word pieces written by the poet laureate Roe Jay. Within the pages of this book the poet seeks to enlighten, educate and inspire the reader to challenge conventional thinking to break the shackles which holds man back, making him a slave to a system of corruption which separates and controls our thoughts by keep us in a mental haze of social unawareness and growing ignorance. A handful of the works in this book I believe were God sent and I take no credit as author as I merely wrote them as there were delivered by that higher power ( Jesus Piece, The Beautiful Ones, Let it Rain and 500 miles to Righteousness) are such works. All others are the direct result of the poet’s application of his craft (poetry) which he so dearly loves. I attempt to examine the many facets of life; common themes represented/explored are love, fear, frustration, political awareness, desire, hope and many more.
