Book Cover & Preview Text
The way I think controls my life, it cuts much deeper than the surgeon's knife, love is so real, You can taste and touch steel, so you know what you feel, yes, life two is real! My heart surely beats, and my pulse often quicken as I run through the nights fears sometime becken, yet I keep moving on, for I know what, I am, a creature of God who spawned from man, now time never stops, nor shall it ever return. So I look ahead and I watch and I yearn, and with love and compassion. I see myself grow and though time moves on. I know that I know!

About the Book
This book of poetry is dedicated to the people of the planet Earth. It is a collection of philosophical thought. And if just one of these poems helps one citizen of this planet to become better and more productive, I would consider my life to be worthwhile and my existence has made a difference to the people of this world. With hope for our planet, Barry Mansfield
About the Author
My name is Barry Mansfield. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, on October 8, 1948. I consider myself to be a philosophical poet. As I grew, I became more and more aware of the many problems that exist within our society. I have been published in several journals. One that comes to mind is a Journal for Ordinary Thought 2007, where my poem “The Way I Think” was first published. Also, in Northeastern’s Independent. Thrown Out of the Garden is my first book published this year. My poems are about the possibility of creating something good out of something that’s not so much. And although some of my poetry is purely personal, the greater amount is my meager efforts to explain and possibly alleviate, at least for some, the problems that we all face in our lives. I have been going to school for a very long time, trying to increase my understanding of the world in which we live so that I can help create, if I’m allowed to, a possible better future for as many as I can.
