DadAwake Tales 2022

PENSIVE...PATRIOTIC...PARENT...PARADOX leading to these FRINGE...FATHERHOOD...FIDELITY...FABLES!!! Thank you for taking the time to consider reading my work. It can be best summed up as a journal of a dedicated husband and Father of two young sons, describing the emotional roller-coaster I was on, as I navigated through 2022. I have taken to writing poetry using classical poetic forms from all over the world and inserting modern day content and critique. During Covid I became "awake" and as such a lot of my writings reflect a deep, dark and bitter skepticism, the result of me witnessing the government and institutional meltdown we all did, as well as humans and society tearing each other apart in ways I'd never thought possible. All of these factors have motivated me to use my words to try to get people to open their eyes, switch off the lying, corrupt and propagandized mainstream media, and FOCUS on the task of getting our world back on track, learning and reflecting on past mistakes, all in the name of making a better world (or at least a similar world to what many of us lucky ones got to grow up in) for our children. What started out as a deep skepticism regarding the decision to "jab" my sons soon developed into a passion to expose our so called leaders for getting so swept up in the fervor and panic of the times, to a point where decisions regarding health and wellness, especially our children's, were made without any evidence or facts.
