Breath of the Dragon Ricky Dragon

This is my second book of poetry. Here is a little about who I am, the person. As an only child, forgotten by my mother, unknown by a father, I choose to survive the gauntlet of life and willed within myself a determination to survive. As a child I was always physically motivated and having been brought up in Trinidad and Tobago, I developed a mental agility which I attribute to my outstanding schooling. I have always been an avid reader and enjoy the company of any book that interests and enlightens me for I believe that Knowledge is Power. I create and record music. I have no delusions that I will ever be famous or rich but, my Uncle Bertie would always say to me: "When you do something, do it well." Seeing the world changing around me; people consumed with greed and hatred for other humans; old people and the very young killed indiscriminately with wealth, position, privilege and power worshipped above human life, I wanted to make a difference, no matter how small or insignificant it was. Good is always a greater force and so I choose to become 'The Wandarin' Dragon' a symbol of good, a voice of reason and a person of peace. One day my voice will be still and I shall become a memory, then like most things, I will be forgotten; I leave it to you the reader to decide, while I still breathe and have life... if I have succeeded.
