Eye Soar's Trials... Tribulations... & Blessed Treasures

About the Book

Having been inspired by dreams, ideas, entertainment, history, fiction and non-fiction, and so much more in life, Eye Soar´s Trials... Tribulations... & Blessed Treasures is a culmination of poems that have been written over a number of years by David L. Slaughter II. As such, you will find poems that deal with military and war (whether on the broad spectrum or from an individual perspective), political stances, love of family, faith in God, dreams, fears and anxieties, as well as lighthearted poems that still possess a message in their own right. Of course, not all the poems contained within are based on what has inspired David, but also to inspire others to overcome their own demons, problems, self-esteem issues, concerns, etc. with the hope that the reader, whether reading those that have inspired or to inspire will gain a perspective for themselves to relate to. If we find relation in our own lives by the words of another, we also find we learn and grow.

About the Author

David L. Slaughter II is the son of a retired United States Air Force serviceman. Being born and raised within the military life, he saw the world around him and began to take notice of things that many people take for granted. He is patriotic, loves his country, and has even served it like his father, grandfather, and many of his ancestors. But, it was more than just being exposed to different places, people, and culture or even world events. David also has Asperger's Syndrome, which is a high functioning form of Autism, which was diagnosed in 2009. Being Autistic, he refuses to see it as a curse, but a blessing. It has not only allowed him to be observant to the smallest of details; it has also given him a God-granted gift to write. Thus, this book of poetry has been born from his very thoughts, observations, dreams, anxieties, and more. Within these pages, as you read, perhaps you may find meaning for yourself as David did from writing them. It may also help to understand the mind of one with one form of Autism.
