The idea behind the mad man is simple; WE are the entire madman. We have taken life’s journey through valleys and mountains. We have experienced sorrow, pain, infinite joy and beauteous love. We have crippled ourselves at the expense of others while being crippled by others. The madman is the voice that seeks to do away with self-delusion.

We are all madmen (so to speak) writing carelessly in this world. We are bound by society's definition of who we are and what we do. The book is about the internal battles that we all have had or are experiencing in this existence. I choose to write my fights down on paper and not let them fester in my head.
This book contains 5 sections:Poet, Priest, Lover, Thief, and the Vagabond.

I am a writer of spoken word poetry. I seek to enlighten other on the rewards of madness, for we are all madmen. My main focus is on life, loneliness and despair emotions that we all share but oftentimes are unable to express. My poems break through that barrier and show just how far the rabbit hole goes without fear. Hell is my domain, I live there so you, my dear reader, do not have too.
