'Through the gift of writing, I have learned to express my thoughts and ideals in a manner of being best understood. I have tried hard not to allow negative thoughts or crazy ideals to interfere with anything meaningful and productive in my life.' Says author Alim M. Bey, 'Do not allow yourself to come up short. Each of us has been given a gift at birth, and from that gift, we must learn to be positive, and wherever our aspirations fall, it should be our best.'Part of a poem in Poetry at Its Ripest:Do you have a friend?Do you have a friend who has fallen and can’t get up?And in all efforts made, still it isn’t enoughDo you have a friend who’s off track?This is known knowledge and a factDo you have a friend refusing to give life another try?During the talks and walks, you only see tears in their eyesI saw such a friend the other day, in as many yearsNeed to clean up change clothes, hair hung below his earsDo you have a friend you want to help in good taste?Recognized you, turned walked away, leaving no traceAlim M. Bey, A.K.A. Albert E. Sewell, is an African-descendant, native-born American from Maryland who presently resides in North Carolina. He is a talented writer who has been blessed with the gift of expression through poetry. This diverse collection of poems represents experiences and feelings he had had throughout his life. Though he says his thoughts are quite ordinary, his work is thoroughly unique and thought-provoking.
