Six separate compositions reflecting on different elements of society and the people wherein.

1) "The Secretary and the Pain," is about the U.S. Secretary of State's outstanding speech at the United Nations, the subsequent troop deployment of U.S. troops to Iraq and the suffering that followed.

2) "The Poor and Decrepit Old Men," looks into the minds of the poor, seemingly lost, and forgotten older men of America.

3) "Monument Avenue," speaks to the fact that there was a major thoroughfare in Richmond, Virginia, honoring the Confederate and how that avenue was the proud gathering site for many who worshiped the Confederate.

4) "New Black Martyrs and New Black Heroes." In search of symbols of greatness, Black Americans create martyrs and heroes out of those who rarely deserve such a status.

5) "AWOL: Absent Without Leave." Black Americans have continually gone into battle for this country in an effort to allow others to be free, all the while enduring segregation, racism and brutality back home. "AWOL," looks at a Black soldier in Vietnam and his simplistic attitude.

6) "Eight to the Tenth Power," reflects upon abortions. This is one of my most controversial works. The questions raised and statements made are sure to generate anger, debate, obscenities, name-calling and denunciation.
