MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Alive to Tell the Story: Did America Forget 9/11?": a hard-hitting book of urban lyrical verse. "Alive to Tell the Story" is the creation of published author Kerry Roberson, a nonfiction poet from Bay City, Texas, with a decade of writing experience to his name.
Roberson shares in the piece titled "It's Official", "The innocence, the agony, the pains, head down, not always up, and when it rains, it feels like the weight we go through makes us drown 'cause life is hard. I have been through all the rough, hard times—been there, done all that like a criminal that was innocent but found guilty or died in prison behind getting beat up with a baseball bat. Now they are dead and not alive. I am on the outside, not the inside of those walls used to make bad choices. Now I'm making good ones; it's official.
"There's a countdown counting down all the wrongs and rights, sleepless days, and many sleepless nights could not avoid drama or conflict without getting into a fight.
"My heart goes out even to this day to the ones we lost and their families that lost their loved ones were here yesterday but gone today 'cause many were innocent and even died innocent in prison. The wrong conviction was passed down to them; life isn't fair. I have no dues or even dare—it's all official."
