Real World Poetry

About the Book

Real World Poetry contains a group of individual poems, which I wrote over a very extended period of time. Some few of these poems have singularly appeared in some of my other writings. The mood of these poems is intended to address the lack of objective truth within many of the major philosophies of the world's cultures, and to dress those wounds, of cognitive dissonance, with a dressing of hope and guidance towards a more reasonable outlook upon life, and of life's struggles to discover a meaningful perspective, which can be embraced by reasonable peoples, allowing them to find a guiding path to peace-of-mind, and some form of contentment within a world that everyday waxes and wanes between its self proclaimed ancient morals, which have grown so crumbly with time's passing, as to be without any substantial or meaningful substance.

About the Author

My formal educational background is in Mathematics, Digital and Analog Electronics, Computer Design and Programming. I have extensively traveled the world, particularly through Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East and have resided in many countries.

At the age of ten years I began writing for my own pleasure, of course those earliest compositions have been lost to the past leaving only memory ghosts of their substance, which linger as disembodied pieces in my memory. It was not until much later in life that I began a sustained regimen of writing. Today I write as a means to awaken an expanding curiosity within hungry minds.
