About the Book

Black Poet is one man's expression of the hurt, anger and joy of looking at the world as a black person. The Author/Actor Cassius Ali has written three poetry books The Last Word, Poetic Expression and A Bully Story (A Bully Story has two short tales of bullying as well as poetry). After interviewing people of all colors, Cassius Ali tells their stories using what he calls a "Poetic expression." Because of growing up through hardships, you'll find many of the poems are filled with emotion and passion. Cassius has worked with and around children for over two decades and learned that for most of us, that is when we decide the direction of our lives. If we do not express the hurt, anger or even the joy we may hold inside of ourselves our choices could be made because of un-channeled emotions. After watching the news Author/Actor Cassius Ali wrote the poem called "On this Day".
About the Author: "On this day: " I have fear in my heart. I'm living in a world where black is a target from the start. It's unclear if it's hate or discrimination this world can't tell them apart. Why must I worry for my children in the world today? I thought justice was the American way. I throw my hands up and yelled I surrender still I lost my life that day. I played my music too loud and was shot while my killer walked free. I was on my way to college how could this happen to me? The value of my life appears to be less than a dime. It seems killing a black person isn't a crime. Talk of War fills the news. The elderly are forgotten after paying their dues. We're facing scary times. I try to sum them up with little rhymes. Why are we treated this way? We prayed to overcome but it didn't happen today. - Written by Cassius Ali
