Poems of Substance Gerald Middlebrooks

This book of poetry are poems of insight and forethought. Although some may be viewed as opinionated, they are factual in content. Both thoughts provoking and the dilemmas the life sometimes throws at all of us. On the 12th of 13 children, my beginnings are humble. My values stem from hard work, accepting responsibility, and getting an education. But most of all, following the "Golden Rule", instilled in me at a very young age that has confirmed that mortal fortitude necessary for life and goodwill toward mankind.
