A veteran soldier and poet chronicles fifty years of life and the seismic shifts of the early 21st century. Moving from the battlefield to the stage, this collection explores the 'Yes We Can' era, the rise of digital cancel culture, and the vital pulse of movements like Black Lives Matter. Blending the grit of military service with the vibrant energy of hip-hop culture, the work serves as a rhythmic testament to resilience and equity. It is a powerful meditation on the enduring capacity of art to bridge cultural divides and a stirring call to action for a new generation to find its voice and catalyze global change.
