Through The Eyes of A Foster Child: A Poetic Journey
Released by: Dahveed
Summary:
Just when you thought foster children , children in the system and children of color no longer had a voice; Dahveed
takes you on an unforgettable and poetic ride as he expresses his views and concerns through personal insight, poetry and prose.
For_Immediate_Release:
As a former foster child, Dahveed releases his inner most feelings about what it was like to grow up in “the system” through the 60’s and 70’s when the “N” word was a second language and beatings were part of the growing up process; when social workers were far and in between, and being a foster child was like having a plague.
“Writing releases what the soul cries out for us to hear” is Dahveed’s philosophy as he bravely gives his views on religion while taking the reader on his “Spiritual Path: Don’t Crucify Me Before You Get To Know Me” and writes what it was like to make one of the biggest choices of his adult life and the price he had to pay.
Through “Abuse”, Dahveed allows the reader to see his pain and his anger when it comes to abusing children. He writes “Unspoken Silence” to let others know that time does not always heal all wounds as he ends it with “memories – they last.”
Dahveed explains “Why Children Don’t See Color . . . Unless We Allow Them To” while giving his personal views on the use of the “N” word and how it affects Our Children. His voice is one that is “blatantly honest” taking an approach that some would avoid.
Through The Eyes of A Foster Child: A Poetic Journey will open the eyes of current and potential foster parents. It will give foster children hope and allow them to see that they are not alone and that “the system” is not the end of the road for them.
