Sought Thoughts: Book of Quality Poetry

By W. Earl Patterson

For years, Earl Patterson was his own worst enemy. Though he was able to overcome numerous obstacles in life and maintain a high opinion of himself, when it came to playing football, rocking rhymes, and excelling in school, he tricked himself into believing that mediocrity was OK, and bullied himself into looking at the world through a warped lens set to someone else's view of the world.

It wasn't until later in life that Patterson was able to correct his vision of the world, and of himself, and approach life's challenges as paradigm shifts that can ultimately make or break us in the end. Choosing the former approach, and calling upon his years of experience as the leader of a rap/rock group, Patterson set down his life experiences in poetry, to help others overcome obstacles and inspire them to stop bullying themselves.

The poems that comprise this compelling collection are honest, raw, and real, and they flow together seamlessly to deliver both a highly personal story and a set of universal truths that will comfort readers and give them a sense of freedom, encouragement, and hope.

Poignant, powerful, and profound, Sought Thoughts is a must-read for people who want to expand their horizons through candor and rhyme.
