The story, Simon Said is about friendship, politics, and deadly intentions to undermine, manipulate, and destroy the innocent. With an uncontrollable lust to recruit those who were vulnerable and weak, and to entrap anyone who would get in the way of his progress, Simon would stop at nothing.

The poem, A Righteous Prayer offers a prayer of relief to those who seek spiritual guidance, while Now Is The Time addresses change, commitment, and loyalty, in order to survive todays social and economic problems.
