Twenty Six


Twenty doves have flown into the graces of an almighty God... Awaiting with open arms he welcomed in twenty innocents to gather upon his sheep... Liberally they have flown away from harms way which shall never harm any of them on any other unsuspecting day... With afflicted tears filled with excruciating pain many shall cry for years to come... All it took was one selfish cowardly act to change the lives of many, in the eyes of these innocences unknowing they have awaken to meet God in his heavenly presence... Six being the heroes that protected Gods children as if they were one of their own, six courageous Angels sent to earth to protect and guide them all until reaching his feet where he sat atop his thrown... Holding these down pours of emotions while grasping onto my throbbing heart tightly, I squeezed to avoid sadness ripping myself apart... In the hands of God I have left my very own adolescents, in hope that he shall watch over them while away from the assurance of their protection... No ones knows ones destiny and the life they were born to lead, came upon this earth to deliver a message to a global audience awaiting while watching on the edge of their seats... These are just signs as in the bible Jesus stated "Let the little children come to me and do not try to stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these"...

Iz Da Realist Poet

Raised in the midst of a housing complex was never an easy task for IzyC. For as long as Ismael Cruz, Jr. can remember, he has always used his artistic abilities to escape into a fantasy realm. His parents tried their best to give him some form of serenity within their household, even if his rebellious side kept telling him he did not fit in. Being around a violent drug-filled community was a survival within its own where most of the friends you once knew were buried in dirt at such an early age. Even as a child Ismael has always dreamt of a peaceful place where a hammock and watching the sun settle in the horizon was the vision, his story was far from what he would dream of, unfortunately. Ismael was raised into a man who has seen, felt, struggled and endured heart-breaking pain. He has fought without ever giving up an inch for his own beliefs setting himself free from shattered visions. He has written Diary of Poems to express feelings and experiences in the life he has seen. He continues to reach hoping to someday teach others of the positives life can have in the negatives thrown in our direction daily. Certainly hoping these realistic writings would make a difference to you as it has done for him.
