Poetry of the Damned: Into the Fire of Thought

By Shane M. Gerry

Poetry of the Damned seeks to inspire! Its about desire, God, humanity, and fantasy. It talks about the problems we confront in society. It will leave the reader a raw perception of unspoken truths. It also offers a lot of abstract, fantastical concepts. It will take the reader on a thought-provoking journey that encompasses both light and darkness. It is a voyage through worlds!

Do you dare to venture into this raw mind?
