Love’s In Need Of Love Today
When we’ve reach a point
Where those that we love the most
Hurt us the most
And cause us the most pain
Then we must know
That love’s in need of love today
Just to honor and celebrate our love
We are expected to extend an expensive gift
For a love that’s priceless
Love is in need of a face lift
When love becomes so obscene
That we find security in love
Based on Ivy League degrees
And trust in financial stability
Love is in a Great Recession obviously
For the love of God and religion
A person commits suicide
To seek martyrdom by killing
Innocent women and children
Obviously love in need of healing
I want to proclaim
“I love you!”
But I’m afraid to say
“I love you!”
Because love’s in need of love today…….

My name is Halim Flowers and I am an author, poet, blogger(CriminalU.co), and at-risk youth advocate. I have been incarcerated for 18 years, since I was 16 years of age for aiding and abetting a felony murder in a case where I was not the shooter and the person charged as the gunman had his case dismissed and was never tried for this offense. I know it sounds crazy but it is my destiny for now and I embrace. My passion in life is learning and helping to enlighten and inspire others, especially helping to develop the character and lives of young men. I was featured in an Emmy award winning documentary about my experiences as a child at the adult D.C. Jail titled "Thug Life In DC"(See Thug Life In DC at YouTube) and I have authored nine books in the genres of self-help, prisoner reform, juvenile justice, memoir, and poetry(See Halim Flowers at Amazon.com). I very contrite for my past criminal offenses and seriously committed to helping our youth to understand "Victim's Impact" and breaking the "school-to-prison pipeline".
