Read our interview with him below

1- From your perspective, tell us how you think world peace can be promoted through poetry in this generation and in the next generations and time to come.
World peace cannot be achieved through isolated efforts or actions. It’s a shared pursuit, and therefore warrants shared thoughts and actions. Since children learn from observations and/or experiencing events within their environment and the world at large, the lest each of us can do is to instill love for peace in their hearts. Poetry is an effective tool to share the core human values of love, compassion, tolerance, and friendship. Thus, supplying the world with quality writings to promote peace  can go a long way in educating and/or reminding the readers to do their own part in contributing to the promotion of universal peace.

2- When did your love for teenage poetry began.
About five years ago when I began to compose my own poems. 2-How good it would be for me as if in my beginnings I had a mentor.  To guide or help my creations to be published and valued.  But I did not.  Therefore, as far as I can, I want to help young people.


3- How can teenage poetry impact the global populace and the world at large.
If teens take keen interest in poetry, families, communities and societies to begin to take more interest in poetry since it’s normally the teens that the elders find difficult to manage and therefore try to find every possible way to keep them meaningful engaged so that they don’t indulge in anti-social activities or take to substance abuse and the like.
