Book Cover & Preview Text
I started writing poems and stories about my life when I was a young man. My poems are very different from what you may read in other poetry books. In this book, there are many poems and short stories. They are very personal tales about my many loves, my many sufferings as a result of them, and my struggle as a child after having pharynx polio, which made me unable to speak correctly. And of course my life was affected when I witnessed my father being burned to death in a motorcycle accident before my eyes at the young age of six.
Some of these poems and stories are very unusual and will take you to a place you have never been before. Some poems and writings are very spiritual. My life started long before I came to this earth, from a planet near the system of the Star Kolob, past the Andromeda galaxy, and beyond. On that planet, a civil war broke out. Many of these writings are about my life in that civil war. I was a one-star general, and I was addicted to power. I almost accepted the position of a four-star general in the rebel forces during that civil war, but I hesitated. I finally chose to fight on the side of the monarch.
This displeased the legitimate sovereign king. I was stripped of my rank and reduced to a corporal. I lost my ability to speak and was sent to a faraway planet in another galaxy, called Earth.
I had to overcome the lust for power and all my other weaknesses. My effeminate feelings raped my mind and caused me many guilt feelings. They camouflaged my real life with delusions and the loss of a verifiable reality due to the overbearing memories of my past lives. These poems reveal how I was able to overcome my obsession with the military and my other weaknesses. Most of my life, I lived in a world of illusion, burdened by visions of female demons that tortured me and dragged me to the dungeons of hell. The poems also show how I battled with these spiritual beings my whole life and how I was able to turn to God for help.
These poems will open up your eyes and guide you to the next eternal world. It will give you a better understanding of the unseen world of demons and the coming of a new kingdom upon this earth.
