Alexander K. Stubbs, from Scotland on the north Ayrshire coast, is a dear friend of mine that I met through another poet named Sylvia Lukeman. Lukeman owns Poets Who Care, they publish poetry books that raise money for those with illnesses (contact me if you’re intersted in donations of money or poetry.) Alexander K. Stubbs suffers from Parkingsens disease and has been fighting it since 1987.
I Interviewed Stubbs in 2006 and he has been loved by many! I am pleased to expose you to another writer who writes his own rhythm of life.
His work is brilliant, reflecting the strength and the beauty of his soul. He is an Intrinsic contributor which you most likely have not heard of, I started Intrinsic back in 2005 it is very similar to Strong Truths but for those of all ages and of all mediums.
Quick overview of Alexander
Instead of repeating myself I recommend you viewing his interview which he writes with his own words. It’s not long and I am one hundred percent sure that you will love what he has to say. Visit here or click in the links section.
I AM A CITY
I am a city, I am her people,
I am their pain and their tears.
I am the bitter, the damned and the broken,
the twisters, the twisted, the meek and outspoken.
I am the man who cries alone,
I am the man who unbeknown
to the strangers who live in the next door home
is dead a week from loneliness syndrome.
Here comes the child cruelly abused,
I am the guilt,the fear the accused,
the filth on the streets, perversion and crime
the couldn’t care less, sign of the times.
I am a city fighting decay,
I am the promise of a brighter day
I am the dreams of a new generation,
the city’s rebirth, rejuvenation.
I am a city, rising,a phoenix,
from the ashes of yesterday’s politics,
I am a city awakened unbowed,
I am a city, bruised but proud.
