This book should come with aloe vera gel and a handle, because you might get burned and you will need to hold on to something. Urban Swagger is not for the faint hearted, but is not devoid of hope. Peace, Hope and Love are still the message, however in Urban Swagger the message is grittier and wounded many times. These poems are what you may have thought / would have liked to say out loud, but may find it wiser to keep these thoughts to yourself. With time and distance, I think it is safe to share these raw emotions in a place where they may do more good than harm. Consider it food for thought. These potent poems range from irreverent to relevant, from profane to profound, from celestial to terrestrial. Urban Swagger loves life, if it didn't love it wouldn't care, if it didn't care it wouldn't bother. This is based in love, not disdain. It is meant to give a close up picture of life among people, Earth's own human beings, in this place and time.
