Everybody's Favorite Brother is a easy to read essay about a family growing up in southeast Washington, D.C., in the 70's and 80's. It is a fast read, with a high school vocabulary.
The book was written in the style of the many black writers who I grew up admiring, such as Gordon Parks, Ice Berg Slim, Dick Gregory, and many others.
In the book I chronicle my life but the book really isn't just about me. Coming from a large family, my siblings had a lot of influence over me and shaped my choices and ideals about life.
The remarkable and somewhat otherworldly event that happened to me much later in the book can never be forgotten. It was something that I felt with all of my heart, must be told, and told again.
I'm not sure of the true significance of how it will help others but it happened to me for that reason, to share that there are other forces behind the scenes. We are not alone, spiritually speaking.
It gave me a sense of the enormous amount of care and concern that the Most High Creator has for us.
Job 33:13-17 speaks about a Creator who is in tune and in communication with us; if we would just listen more for the voice.
Most of us are so busy listening at outward things that we miss a whole lot of leading and wisdom that the Creator is pleased to give to us.
My books tells one facet of the panoramic view of my life; my story could have been told several different ways. But I leaned on the Spirit for guidance, and this is what was produced.
One thing I did not do is embellish events in my book. That is not my writing style and I didn't need to do that. The stories that I shared need no embellishment. I didn't want my book to be a lie, or a fake story. I wanted it to be real, and I wanted it to be true as best as I could rehash the events.
My hope is that you will find the true meaning to something that has caused doubt in the past. My hope is that my book will give you purpose or enhance the purpose of every step that you take. My hope is that my book will touch you, and leave a positive impression on your heart.
Job 33:13-17 makes it clear that God will and does speak to us occasionally. Oftentimes we are not in-tuned and we miss that often calm, subtle communication.

Can We All Get Along?
We are ll the same,
Just a few pawns in a much larger game!
It's a simple but profound question
This nation has been posed,
From a weary and beaten motorist
That our Sovereign father has chose
God knows our hearts, who are we fooling
The bible talks about love, kindness, and brotherhood
Where did you get your schooling?
My hue is different than yours
will you still be my brother
Just excuse the fact that we
Have different mothers
Race and class add to life's troubles
they divide and conquer, which add to our struggles
There should be no struggle
If we keep our eyes on HIM
Don't be blinded or deceived
While your lamp is getting dim!
Th is my pulpit, this is my stage
Why aren't our leaders,
up in arms with Rage?
I hear about the evil; cities full of crime
Laws that don't deter; incidents without a rhyme
No reason for conspiracy, no personal agendas' to hold
If you have a soul, why let your heart grow cold?
We all want to get ahead, but don't step on others toes,
Love yourself, love others, and God bless, even your foes,
Can we all Get along
All Men Are Created Equal
We are all made in the image of God
No more Racism!
No More,
No More,
No More!
On this planet there's no envy or jealously, no one is privileged!
On this planet there's no individual fear; just common threat
On this planet you can be friends with whomever you want
You can marry outside your race without reprisal
On this planet there is love, a far reaching love (agape)
On this planet no group dominate(s); nor controls who its true leaders become
It is a planet where mankind lives in shalom (peace).
On this planet racism does not exist!
Coming to a planet near you!
Hot dogs and half-smokes,
summer in the parks,
Fort DuPont park,
Malcolm X park,
Haines Pointe,
RFK Stadium,
the Smithsonian,
the Kennedy Center,
L'Enfant Plaza,
Go-Go music,
great universities,
All four seasons,
visitors from all over,
national monuments,
statues fill the downtown
landscape,
the Anacostia River,
the Big Chair,
Capital Hill,
unique and powerful,
yet cocky and sophisticated,
my hometown,
Washington, DC!
Fireman saves the crack head baby,
postman put mail in the wrong places...
The police person says, "keep it moving"!
(my song on the radio has me grooving...)
Buy why, did that young boy have to die?
We look for answers, and want our miracles!
My Pearls of compassion, field of sorrows, Wishing you were here...no more tears!
Firemen saved the family today,
the entertainer has a gig to play
Policeman out to get the bad,
(television has me feeling sad)
But why, did that young boy have to die?
We look for answers,
We want our miracles!
My Pearls of compassion, field of sorrows,
wishing you were hear...no more fear.
No more fear!
My Pearls of compassion on a field of sorrows
There is a reason for everything
God is always in Control
Winter's Business
Thanksgiving day parades
Nuts, fruit cakes, and pies, fill the tables
Holiday cheer as Christmas draws near
Trees decorated, lights, adorn the landscape
The weather is colder, 40 degree nights
Daylight saving time
Joggers in shorts and hoodies
Trudging thru the blistering wind
Shoppers begin to look for bargains
Chasing sales with glee
Moods become festive
Good cheer and good will abound
Christmas has come and gone,
the gifts to last awhile
All the Nog is gone
The last of the ham and turkey
The New Years usher in the
First day of the year
Resolutions renounced aloud
Coats and boots adorned
Snow shovels and snow-blowers
Replace the sleds, and sliding tubs
The Hawk is roaring to fly
March comes in like a lion
If it goes out like a lamb,
That's the end of winter.
