About this ebook
Struggle is a curse that can only be broken by the holiest man. Struggle is a form of debt. When a man is in debt he is basically a slave to the person he owes the debt to. People who are outside of the community use logic to solve their problems. People within the community use street rationale to solve their problems. Street Rationale will draw you a picture of the streets. Street Rationale will give you a picture, but it’s up to you to finish the picture.
The aftermath of colonialism has taken its toll on the community. The community is like a prison being guarded by demons that were once angels. Gods have even fallen down to the level of angels, and angels have fallen to the status of demons. Is there anyway to save the community? How can you save people who don’t want to be saved? The only way to change the mind of an individual is to show him the future.
The future doesn’t look too pleasant. Humans are the perpetrators behind the destruction. Humans are like a disease. Everything they touch turns to dust. When will God come and cure this world from this disease? How long will the earth have to suffer? Poetry can change the world, but it’s up to the poet to change the people.

Hello, my name is Sheldon Hollis. I was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. September 1, 1993 is when an artists was born. I am an author, poet, and screen writer. My dream is to cement a legacy that will live on forever. But I know to cement a legacy you must first blueprint your legacy. In life nothing comes easy but you should want it to be that way. If there were no road blocks, what story would you have to tell? How would history remember you. Every day, when I wake up, I think about my legacy. I wonder, sometimes, how people will remember me. To create a legacy, you have to first create a blueprint. And when you're done creating your blueprint, you start sculpting out your legacy. This journey will be long but I know this journey will pay off. Legacy is hard to achieve but I know my legacy will be remembered.

A Man’s Quote
Will I ever have the chance to be remembered as a remarkable prodigy?
I have what it takes, but I have a feeling that things won’t end properly.
My mother tells me that I should try to think logically.
But how can I think logically when I have been unable to receive an apology.
You may think these are nothing but mere words.
But at least these words will be a song for the birds.
You may not hear my voice being played on a disk.
You may not see me with a rolex on my wrist.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I have an artistic mind like the great sculptors.
You’ll never have to worry about my face being plastered on posters.
There are many that would question the art, but they don’t understand the artists.
Many just suck the meat from the bones, but forget about the life of the carcass.
Why not be a scientists why be so focused on being an athlete.
You claim you want to accomplish these things, but look at your rap sheet.
By your attitude I can tell that your weed has been laced.
Situations like that will have you lying in a pile of waist.
Put down the guns and start building with your hands.
In a few years we will look back and see where you stand.
"As you walk across these lands you will soon discover
