Soul on Fire

These are the poems and prose of a man who respects and loves ALL of humanity a Black man fighting & singing his way through racism in white America & Europe; poems of loneliness love & ecstasy of rage against racism in America & Germany & England of life & death of apostasy and redemption of youth & striving to grow old gracefully serious & funny always socially-consciousness-raising; elegies in Korea and love-seeking worldwide writings as varied as his lives as poet actor boxer opera singer R 'n B Jazz Blues and Folk singer composer teacher.'My love for the country of my birth America is colored with praise & criticism and hope - criticism because I know we can do better praise & hope because with the upcoming elections America stands at the crossroads of history: a chance to take another giant step - Do we have the will and courage to do it? I fervently hope so! I am a Soultraveler standing up for justice and human dignity who firmly believes that we all came from the same place and we are all going back to the same place so why not give a helping hand to one another as we all struggle through this astonishing - and - tortuous adventure we call LIFE?!'
