Mental Rose

Background: When sentenced to two concurrent 15 year prison terms, with no biological family, and surrounded by fake friends, you quickly rely on God, love, and your girlfriend for survival. Your girlfriend-turned wife, in turn, relies on God, love, and poetry to see the bid through. Herein, is the tale of both experiences, and observations during the 15-year prison sentence, in NYS maximum security prisons. Here, you get to hear the stories, humanize the outcasts of society, take part in life-long friendships, and engage in supernatural divinely guided love that only a small group of prison wives and husbands conceptualize. The Evolution: This collection of poetry intertwines the evolution of life from prison release, to tapping into the Great Divine for ultimate guidance. The experiences, feelings, and challenges of women, supporting their husbands through life and love, all while seeking alignment to the Great Divine.

This text is a literary essay that evaluates the causes of Caribbean migration, consistently, over the decades. The background reads that, the issue of Caribbean migration is evolving, as migration is increasing with time. Many theorists have tried to determine the factors that are contributing to the increasing numbers of Caribbean immigrants to the "States" and other European nations; governed by the same government they've driven out and attained independence from in the past. Despite the Caribbean's attainment of national independence from Europeans, it appears through written and oral discourse, that the Caribbean islands and its people haven't fully acquired independence from the inferior conditions of their past; from which they are still suffering economically and socially. This short analysis, with photos included, will analyze the literature of the Caribbean, while exploring the theories of underlying inferior economic conditions, lifestyle differences, and the consistent migration of the Caribbean Islands.
