A Message to Our Audience:

Marvin J. Taylor
Thank you to readers who have followed me along the way and also witnessed the birth of a new poet, my son Joshua Taylor. Lastly and most important, to my heavenly father who has sustained me with love and perseverance. Thanks also for giving me a voice to speak and knowledge to understand, Amen.

Joshua Taylor
To all our readers and listeners,

I hope that you sincerely enjoy this book as we put our ink to the page to bring you delight. Our mission was to entertain as well as inform you about the current world we live in. We want to leave you with lessons, not just rhymes in your head. It’s always about learning and obtaining growth.

Since this is my first official poetry book, I just wanted to explain furthermore how much I really enjoyed writing my poems. After examining the news and the environment we live in, I felt it was my duty to leave something behind to the world. I have to contribute in some way to put my brick in. With all the wrong things I see in my vicinity, I can’t help but to be motivated to speak out. And what better way to do that, then with the fun rhythm of poetry? I hope to have inspired you to create a righteous change as I was inspired to do the same. My dad and I both felt the need to address many current topics in this written work. Providing truth in a world of lies so that you can see 20/20 in 2020, cause If Not Now . . . When?
