Not Man Enough

The protagonist’s advocacy against mass accusation on him being ‘not man enough’. He also contests the parallel label of ‘not woman enough’. The jury is already out as he puts up his witty advocacy against the pop cultural benchmarks over gender appropriates and massive peer pressure on men and women alike for being ‘something enough’. It is for readers to preside on the judgment. He needs you!The protagonist’s advocacy against mass accusation on him being ‘not man enough’. He also contests the parallel label of ‘not woman enough’. The jury is already out as he puts up his witty advocacy against the pop cultural benchmarks over gender appropriates and massive peer pressure on men and women alike for being ‘something enough’. It is for readers to preside on the judgment. He needs you!It is not only about being not a man enough. This predicament is similar for women too. This label of not man enough also extends to women as being not women enough. Rather, women in contemporary culture have to struggle with this label far more than men. In modern culture, there are so many stupid and populist benchmarking of a women’s desirable persona and imagery that it is really tough for a woman to feel comfort and wellness with her natural body and mind, let alone with a choice, which does not conform to populist imagery.The protagonist not only attempts a joint advocacy against the label of being ‘not man enough’ as well as being ‘not women enough; he also has a silly perspective on what ‘enough’ benchmark the populist cultures must have for larger wellness of gender mutuality. He surely needs your vote. Do bail him out!

But knowing the danger this bad boy poses to her heart, Julie is determined to keep her distance. But Ty has a game plan of his own.

Apollyon's Saint Heavens Abominations

As well as the mighty king Abimelech, all seek to recruit Gabriel in destruction.Standing alone in this world, we face the important question of how singular we truly are. What unites us, and what divides us?Perhaps the answers lie in self-knowledge - or perhaps the way out is to place faith in objective reality.Who is it that grasps at straws - the scientist within you, or the poet within you?Which is more valuable in this world: Facts, personal truth - or faith in higher planes of existence?These ten poems (with some prose) explore what is, and perhaps always was and will be, the greatest dilemma of human existence.I find my own answers, but leave it to the reader to find their own.
