There are many things in life that shape and define us, mold us, and harden or soften our perspectives of life. It’s been said there are three types of people who run “toward” a fight. Firefighters, soldiers and the police. After decades of seeing the worst and sometimes the best humanity and society has to offer, have you ever wondered, what do “they” think or feel? Poetry like many other forms of expressions reflect a poet’s perspective and intentions. From the hands of one who has run toward the fight are words that are intended to inspire the readers and invite them to look at people, life or the world with new eyes. Many agree every time a poem is read, new insights can be gained, and when read aloud something unique is revealed. Whether whispered, spoken or shouted, poetry is meant to be shared.
