    About this ebook

    This collection of poetic works is based on the experiences of my life, whether lived or witnessed. The unique opinions and creative writings expressed are nothing more than a reflection of character and are not meant to be taken offensively to any level of society, race, culture, religion, or ones personal lifestyle or beliefs. Please dont take this personally; its just personality.

    Douglas Gatewood

    My name is Douglas Charles Gatewood. I come from the little town of Columbus, Indiana. Early on I realized that music was my brain and poetry was my heart. Therefore, for those of you who read this, you shall carry a piece of my heart with you. I am looking forward to furthering my career with music and poetry as well as becoming the family man I was meant to be. Thanks to all the publishers, producers, marketers, promoters, and supporters who have been nothing less than great to me. Thanks to you especially for listening to the whispering of my soul!

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
