    An American Poet: And a Country Divided by Words

    About this ebook

    The author wrote this collection of verses in a critical manner, but also about a general period of time, which is very unlike his predominantly timeless style. Moreover, for the first time he stripped his poetry of a common philosophical and metaphysical essence and touched upon the questionable voices that "judge" our country.

    Anthony Pellegrino

    Having never been on Social Media, it makes sense that I am not one to dispersing my image all over the globe. Hence, I have posted one of a notable Philosopher :) . I am a Philosopher and a Poet. As I have (often vision impaired) ambled the arduous journey referred to as life, I have learned that unless one is being educated for work, where their future employers would want them blindly learned, the paramount path to education is via the self. Moreover, if the proper means are pursued with an open and objective mind, one may not attain society’s golden piece of paper by which a worth is deemed, but nuggets of a far greater value, which are knowledge and wisdom. If I am allowed to continue my philosophical journey. may I learn to always walk steadfast with an open mind and kindness. However, if the Fates have decreed my final breath near, may they let compassion descend upon humankind until either the day of our species' extinction or a time when we transcend our world of ignorance and illusion.
