Attitudes

Hi. . I'm Bert Babero. I'm what you might call an observer of people. This is the audio-video version of my book Attitudes; a collection of poetic essays intended to address the question: What makes people tick? It deals with Attitudes some of which are mine and some of which are not.The book is not intended to express a solitary theme or to promote a singular message. Rather you should find it relatively eclectic. . as perhaps am I. After all I'm a Muslim by religion African by ethnicity and American by citizenship- having been raised in Africa Arabia and the USA. I'm an advocate of Affirmative Action and stem-cell research reparations for racial injustice and Palestinian sovereignty; trained as a lawyer and a boxer. I embrace the Republican party and the Nation of Islam have joined the NAACP and the National Rifle Association; enjoy Andrea Boucelli hate Ebonics love boating and am indifferent to basketball. In other words if it's stereotypes you're looking for look elsewhere.. . Now poetry I concede is not for everyone. . . neither in fact is literature period come to think of it. But for those of us who appreciate art in language poetry rocks.Of course there is another possibility; you may like poetry. . just not my poetry. And that's OK because if my style is not the same as yours don't worry that makes us even; but if it is the same take heart. . that makes you exceptional.. . So laugh if you will; think if you can; or cry if you must. Just sit back relax appreciate and hopefully. . enjoy.. . Best Wishes. . Bert
