Scriptures are experiences, thoughts, feelings, freedom, religion, happiness, sorrow, new beginnings, loss, it is life. Readers will be interested in it because we have all had these feelings or experiences and sometimes these things are not easily expressed. It gives words to emotions and experiences and allows the readers to see he or she is not alone. It shows them it is possible to have more than one life experience at a time, to overcome difficulties, to tell someone how much you love them, to say thank you, to believe, to have faith, to fantasise, to be free, to fight back, and to be a victor in life. No one individual is perfect, not only does this book acknowledge that but admits to it. This book is my heart, mind, and soul. Scriptures is my life, my death, and my re-brith.

Chapter One

Trials

The littlest nigga on the block, the one with the 18-inch shotty ... click, click, bang, there goes another body.

The head of the table said do what needs to be done. There's no playing in this game, either stay or run ... get out while you can....if you don't your trapped my man.

Not looked at cause I'm so short, the quiet one, my brother's secret weapon.... that's why I never got caught.

No trust in this game ... I protected the man & his name but your best friend could turn to be your worst enemy. No time to have feelings or guilt for what I've done ... that kind of shit will get you taken son.

Lord I never looked to you except when the time was wrong, but still ... with all that you kept me from harm. I believed in you but had no faith ... my head & heart were below you living in darkness ... and my demons?.. had no face.

Oh Shit, My brother what? Shot in the head? His intelligence gone? Tried to handle business with his hands ... nigga wasn't hearing it.. Bang, Bang. There goes my man!!! Shit I had it ... no more I need out, Remember blood in.. never out.

Things have changed.. word got out ... shorty's starting to calm, those friends I told you about.... yeah ... now they mean me harm!!!

Damn what now? ... I got a son on the way? ... With all this shit I'm going to be a dad? ... I have to get out, that's it I'm done ... take that paper I made take the family & run.

Now I have a family have to keep them safe, I ran but couldn't run far ... shit they found us, take em' out. Shorty w/ the shotty is now in a different game;.... family man is his new name. Damn I made it; I'm out, far from harm.... Take the time morn my brother's death, stop look around, and take breath.

What now?..... New time new fight, I thought my friends were my greatest enemy.... I was wrong.... it was my wife.... damn baby we couldn't make it work, that's ok I have my son & that's all life's worth.

Damn!!!... Trust, love, faith, emotion, all locked in a box shit my head hurts, I feel like it's gonna burst.

Everyone looks & no one sees I'm not who they think I am one more secret for me to keep.

I have issues from time to time, damn!! ... I have to walk away; I could take care of it in a drop of a dime.... but shorty with the shotty is gone, he died.

Lord ... you have given me peace, kept me safe this far at least. I now have faith & I understand of what it takes, to be the man you want me to be ... from this day forward it's you.. my son ... & me!!!!

Two letters can control a destiny ... determine a person's actions Two letters can control your head & heart, IF you let it can tear you apart ...

IF this one lived, IF that one died ... would control.. IF you laughed or cried.

IF I was a better husband..better father ... better son ... better person ... even a better man.... IF I could, would I change ... who I am.

IF you haven't lived, you haven't learned ... & that age-old question..... IF I ruled the world????

IF they would look at us for who we are ... not the color of our skin.... IF brothers would stop destroying themselves from within.

IF you could only see we were meant to be ... just how much I love you ... & how much you mean to me.....

IF I wished upon a star ... they would be in your eyes.... I would take your hand and stand by your side ..I promise I'd keep you safe and that's the way it would be......IF ... you loved me.

IF you had to choose ... left or right ... what would you do???

IF you had the courage, the strength, the wisdom, the power.. would you help those that need you? ... would you be good or evil?????...

Anbieterinformationen

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
