Conscious Conviction: Expressions of a Troubled Intellect

At first read, I knew that Conscious Convictions was a personal piece. It was a look into his life in the form of the spoken word. An elaborate illustration of the depths of his minds depicting where he has been, where he is, and where he wants to be. I was overwhelmingly intrigued and was carried away by the articulation of his experiences. I was completely immersed in the efficacy of his delivery and expression. This book is more than a collection of poems. It is a depiction of a man's journey and his struggle for freedom. The battle of a black man that has made mistakes and has learned and grown from them. The importance of reflecting and deciphering decisions to make the future. Once again, an infrequency in men in his situation. Instead of letting his circumstances consume him, he is using them to inspire and encourage others in his same predicament. The cadence and wordplay are expelled from the depths of his insight and personal experience. The importance of this expressive and personal quest is to let others know that they are not alone, that the consequences of our actions can be configured into something beautiful, and that a man is the master of his destiny and that your mind is your greatest asset. The subject matter is meant to reach those who feel mentally trapped while being physically trapped.
