The Words of My Mouth and the Meditation of My Heart

About the Book

Hopelessness is clouding a vast amount of our nation. Epidemics of anger, lack of self-control, idols, drugs, depression, and sexual misconduct are literally wiping out generations. Morality has dropped to self-destructive lows. Too many are forsaking or being denied their right to socially mature and develop effective communication skills. Through our artistic and creative abilities, we promote alternatives of release for negative emotions. iWITNESS LIFE utilizes pain and struggles to showcase artistic means of expressing ourselves while strengthening others to have a voice.

About the Author

Born in 1971, Ralph D. Farley Jr. has experienced the good and the bad of growing up in this vastly evolving generation. Now a father of four, Ralph insists on emitting confidence, faith, and humility. Watching 17 of his family members die through murder, addictions, bad health and choices. (Even the 13-33 syndrome, that’s his grandfather Aaron Farley dying at 33 when his father Ralph Sr. was 13 and his father Ralph Sr. dying at 33 when he, Ralph Jr. was 13.) Ralph was given a gift of expression, so in 1998 he began to creating & performing poetry pieces, and has since developed several workshops, poetic plays and has just finished up with volume four of the iWITNESS LIFE poetry series.
