My goal here is to take you on a journey, tell & engage you in the stories & thoughts I have on life through poetry. This page is an extension of ApoeticLife.com where you can find the latest and greatest creative writing from author Akil Johnson.
I am as passionate a writer as I am the video content creator. In addition to works of poetry, you will see videos from Genius my youtube channel. This page will now serve as a collage for all my work that I wish to share with the public. Thank you all for your continued support. What follows is a quote from a piece in the book called Home sweet home
"I'm in college now, trying to get an education; my professor says with one we will have the tools to change our Nation. Going to college is turning out to be a great experience for me; I don't know where I learn more, in the classroom or dormitory. My roommates all echo the lives they come from in some way; some of them are so mysterious, others, it seems, have too much to say. Some you just have to learn how to ignore, before we change our Nation, we first have to learn how to sweep the floor. Some of my roommates think they already know it all. No one can tell them about life, share advice or guide them away from hitting a wall. We wonder why they are so arrogant until their parents come to visit. Then the revelation is quite exquisite." Lies I Never Quite Believed
