Uncommon Sense: we are bigger than the box you put us in

UNCOMMON SENSE:Were bigger than the box you put us in.I wrote this book for everyday people. We face so many thingsduring these times we may feel like no one understands. Not at Church,not at home and not at the work place! So where can we talk about real lifeand real feelings without feeling judged or feeling crazy or ashamed?Well this book is for you! If you ever felt any of these feelings;People may say as a person that believes inGod you can’t or shouldn’t say what is written in this book!How can we ever move forward if everything is taboo? We as human beings havethoughts and feelings; every one of us. But we are always being told what’s correct.One day I decided to write my thoughts, feelings and stories I have heard from others.That’s how this book came about. Am I a man of God, yes! Do I have a family, yes!Do I have a work place and Church, yes! But I am willing to take a chance and hopeto set others free. Feel free to express yourself, because whatever you’re thinking.I can promise you somebody else has thought about it as well. You’re not alone…I understand that there is a proper place to do this and not everyone will like whatI have to say. But if we begin a dialogue we can then bring about healing and truefreedom and change. This is me starting this uncomfortable conversationThe writings in here are like no others.The poems aren't those of old or so over your head that you need helpdecoding them, they address today's issues, topics and even trends.As well as timeless things, such as relationships, love and justice.Gates doesn't write to say, " here I am right".His purpose for writing is to spark thought and challenge labels.In hope to cause open dialogue to bring about understanding of others.Have you been labelled? Have you labelled others?Within these pages you will find something for everyone.Whether you are from Harvard or the Hood,from the prison to the pulpit, Uncommon Sense will stretch you,test you and make you fall in love with it. Enjoy the journey....Special love and honor to my two brothersJames Rolbiecki, Marquise Bowie and myAuntie Leomie Boyd... Read more
