Bibles and Cigars
By Joseph Adom
()
About this ebook
Bibles and Cigars are questions of why: Why Luxury? Why pain? Why Animosity? More importantly, Why Salvation?
We crave and understand what we see. It is the definition of finding ways through life and adjusting through meanings with time, energy, and shadows. With Light comes happiness, and with time comes experiences. With poetry comes self-indulgence with the luxury of life, which explains what we are doing and meant to do. Bibles and Cigars is a pleasure-seeking book that describes our sins, mistakes, and desires in many different ways to understand our growth in life.
Joseph Adom
Joseph Adom was born and raised in Ghana and moved to the United States eight years ago. Family and faith are important to Joseph. Joseph fell in love with poetry at the age of 19; since then, Bibles and Cigars has been the end product of Joseph Adom’s love.

Acknowledgement
God, for his wonderful mercies and love.
Shadows
Like a path that never stops,
Constantly stalking you,
Invading privacy,
Controlling every movement.
At the tone of every movement,
There is constant betrayal,
Never stops,
Never sleep or awake.
Magically appear in the midst of nowhere,
Legend forever,
History lives forever.
Never put faith in it,
Prevent hope and animosity,
Be the light. Be you. Be confident.
Be aspiration. Be inspiration
Never let down and never be betrayed,
God is the key witness and soul.
Suicide
Reminiscing about life
Changes of mood and hour
Never be disappointed
Always be courageous and never beneath
