Terrified and Defenseless is a story about one man's crusade to dish out his own form of vigilante justice. But his aim is not at child molestors or rapists or arsonists or someone who has harmed him personally. His aim is at those who willingly participate, fund or support cruelty towards animals. With his new found wealth, he has dedicated his life to not only helping those who can't help themselves, not only to avenging the torture and murder of animals, but to try to make a change. He believes that there are good organizations trying to do good things for animals. However, no matter how many petitions, no matter how many peaceful protests, no matter how many celebrities cry out for clemency, unless one is willing to die for a cause, or better yet, kill for it, nothing will change. Fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein once said: “Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and -- thoroughly immoral doctrine that violence never solves anything I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler would referee. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor; and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.” In short, if you want to change something, you have to be willing to kill for it.

Ah, the mysteries of life Why is mankind a boom species? Why should we worry it if is? Why is the Bible’s Curse of Eve real, and necessary for human progress? How does Panic and Blunder Thinking get us into deep, deep trouble? And if it’s so bad, why do we still use it? These are questions of the human condition, and using evolution to answer these questions is what this book is all about.

“If you desire an exhilarating read of a family’s life during Idi Amin’s savage reign, then this book’s for you.” Doug Abraham, Writer & Columnist. “The Jacques Family’s unique Safaris passed through some of the most beautiful – often life threatening – landscapes and situations on earth, and survived. Enjoy!” MacDonald Coleman, Author. “Leo invites you into a world that has the same capacity for richness, complexity and openness that the fictional universe offers. A great read.” Jim J. Nolan, Editor/Journalist. “This is surely life as it was at the time of Idi Amin.” Marshall Dunn, Kampala School Teacher. “AFRICAN PEARLS AND POISONS,” Idi Amin’s Uganda; Kenya; Zaire’s Pygmies, takes you on a series of Safaris, by a family of four, through East and Central Africa, in 1971-72, to attain freedom from Amin and return to North America to unveil their tale – undercover until now. Amin’s army and death squad, kills a reported 300,000 humans, who, for the most part, are innocent victims of his, “Economic War.” A Swahili saying: -- “When two bull elephants fight, it is the grass who suffers most,” fits this situation. In Kenya, the Jacques family, experienced the breathtaking beauty of a country dubbed, “The World’s Safari Capital.” In Zaire, they safari to the cannibalized and now extinct Twa Pygmies of the Ituri Rainforest, in their temporary camp, past Semliki, on the Mountain of the Moons trail. This book, like Joseph Conrad’s “HEART OF DARKNESS” inspires a reader to think differently about East and Central Africa.

A mother, Mary, who didn’t want her son, Joseph, to know he had a father, did everything she could to prevent anyone from talking about his father. She didn’t even talk to Joseph about his father herself. But when the little boy started his preschool year, he soon found out that he must have a father because some of the other children had fathers who would bring them to the classroom and would pick them up in the afternoon. After few weeks of observation, while Joseph and his mother were walking to school, Joseph decided to ask his mother about his father. “Mommy, where’s Daddy?” he asked. Mary responded, “You don’t have a daddy.” “Why do the other kids have daddies?” asked Joseph with an alarmed voice. “I don’t know,” replied Mary. This answer hit Joseph so deeply that his behavior changed from good to bad to worse. His behavior changed positively when his mother had another baby, a boy named Sam, and the baby’s father, Julian, became Joseph’s surrogate daddy. For many years things were going well for Joseph and his family—when on a winter Saturday morning, a fight broke out between Mary and Julian. The argument lasted for hours, and finally Julian took his luggage and left. The destruction of his family was another blow for Joseph—he was devastated. Joseph and Sam reacted by staying out of school and moving out. They both shared a room with a group of fatherless kids who were making their living in the neighborhood streets. Joseph and Sam ended up in juvenile correction and their mother had to bail them out. After their release, they went back to school. Joseph became a lawyer, serving kids at risk, and Sam became the owner of a construction company.

Generations is a book about the author’s search for his ancestors. The book traces the author’s genealogy back through slavery. As the author states; we cannot possibly know ourselves, let alone know where we are going until we are willing to first take the time to learn from where, and from whom we have come. Like many, the author grew up attending public schools and hating history. However, as he matured, a paradigm shift in his thoughts concerning history occurred. Through this book, the author inspires and encourages others to understand the importance of the past, in particular, their own. But more importantly is the author’s desire to get readers to understand society’s critical need to learn from our ancestors through knowledge of what they got wrong, and to gain strength and hope from the things they did right.

I started writing just for fun one after another, but never realized that it would develop in me to be rather part of me. A few years later, I decided to be more serious about expressing my voice through my words. My first few poems were written about the view of women in our lives. As I was always a strong advocate for women, I started to express my affection toward them in every aspect I could think off, especially love at intimacy, their hard work, my mother, and so on. I wrote my first serious poem back in 2006 and 2007; then on I continued, and become attached about two years later.
