Product Description
In a rap-like cadence comes-the poetry of youth - words that echo of freedoms lost and hope found.
Duane Ashley Poole is a creative young poet whose words reach out to our world, whose voice reflects the longings and confusion, the agonies and the dreams of the current generation. Through his second volume of inspirational poetry, Poole delineates truth in razor-sharp images, as one who has seen with his own eyes people who can make the wrong choices and come out on the other side of pain:
I have seen many suicides because the penal system drove many insane. But no matter what I refuse to be beaten, I will always remain. Until one day I walk out of here and sweet freedom hits my face. Once I'm free I won't look back, I'll forget all about this place. Leaving with my dignity, respect, honor and pride. Greeted by my friends and loved ones waiting outside. This picture in my mind keeps me going until I receive what is long overdue. I'll be unbreakable until the bitter end until my time inside is through!
In poetry that reflects courage, strength, and higher inspiration, Poole takes on today's moral and ethical dilemmas in the battle between unity and isolationism, humanity and technology, love and greed, positivism and negativism:
If your troubled thoughts continue, try to turn your thoughts around. Because the negative energy we put out is the same that comes back around. So do not let the bitterness eat away at you, move on and let go.
Stay smiling throughout the rain and let the river of life flow.
- from "Keep a Positive Mind"

A Great Follow-up to "A Walk Through Life!" August 31, 2008
R Meakin
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
True to Life is a great follow up to "A Walk Through life", there is brilliant content inside and I love Vote for change which is obviously a tribute to Barrack Obama and his Campaign.
Duane Ashley Poole describes real love, exposes flaws in the American Judicial system, and delivers an inspirational piece of writing entitled "Relentless and life", which gives a stunning tribute to the boxer Ricky Hatton and, shows how one's determination and resilience will deliver victory, even to those of us in seemingly worst case scenarios.
This book talks about courage, strength coming out of depression, society and much more. I really enjoyed this book and I believe Duane Ashley Poole has a message worth hearing! I recommend this item to children, teens and young adults.
