God ain't gonna like the way I chose to write about him but... What did he think? Also, was I wrong?
I'm not above accepting my punishment but he'd have to point out in which line I misspoke otherwise.... The truth can hurt, deal with it!
"Poetically Yours... Jimmy Duhs" available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

To anyone interested,
As of this moment my new book is available for purchase on Amazon, it is available as an Ebook or paperback.
I titled the book, "Grieving the loss my brother's death caused" because it is a collection of the poems that I have written over the past year while trying to navigate the unexpected death of Michael.
I'll be honest.... it is a tearjerker! However, I do believe that as you read on, your tears go from sad to happier to more heartwarming. I used my poetry, my grief and my love and admiration for my brother to speak to, for, and about him. I recall memories throughout many stages of our lives and explain just how and why I grew to love him as much as I do!
Most of you who know my family and have known us for a while will remember that as children Michael and I NEVER got along!! We often irritated the absolute crap out of each other and fought over anything and everything....
Somehow, over time and thankfully for me, Michael and I not only learned how to get along but we actually became friends and with that we were able to effortlessly turn to each other at any time, for any reason, about anything!
Throughout the book I also included many of my favorite pictures of him and while most of you will think, "oh my God, how sad," please remember that by and through my writing I am able to find strength.
Michael was an amazing, loving, awesome and funny guy who had a great personality and because so, I made it my mission to highlight each and every way he was as incredible as he was. He may be gone but my intention is that, through this book, he will never be forgotten.
As I mentioned earlier I have also decided to donate half the profits from each individual book sale to Saint Judes children's hospital in Michael's name in an attempt for his death to mean something better than terrible...
Order your copy today and enjoy meeting the most amazing guy I had the privilege and honor of getting to know so deeply and for soooo many years!!
I love you Michael!

This is the first holiday season without my brother, he passed away in May. Because it's been so tough & so sad, I've leaned heavily on my #poetry. I just wrote this one... #poetrycommunity#PoemADay#poetrylovers#Christmas2025 my book, "Poetically yours" is available on #Amazon
If you are brave enough after reading this open letter to God, you should check out my book, "Poetically yours... Jimmy Duhs" out now on #Amazon. I found an artistic way to talk about my everyday & the people I meet along my way! Forewarning, while it ain't all sad/mad, it is not for kids or the faint of heart! #godblessyou #poets #poetrycommunity #lost #NewBook #KindleUnlimited #kindle
"When it comes to the death of my brother and my feelings about God... it ain't that hard:
I feel so confused, I feel so cheated, I feel rather empty and all of these feelings are truly unpleasant. I hold resentment towards the God I'm expected to worship because, of course, I think he's a dick!
But, on a deeper, more serious and more meaningful level, I feel like the times he chooses to mettle only pedal his children closer and faster towards disaster and pain. Why would he take you and end your life at a time when you were not only at your lowest, but when you were desperately hoping for a win? You were hoping to rise up, you were hoping that an end to your hard times had finally come, but, well...
None of that seemed to matter to our father who art in heaven. Our father, who art be miles away and ever so safe from all the ongoing hurt and unpredictability... Can he really not see that most of us are forced to head on up a steep hill that threatens to kill us before it fills us with peace and love? Is he really unable to hear the ongoing fear that we pray will soon cease? Is he just not able to receive the pleas from his kids suffering in uncertainty while he is apparently floating in glee upon fluffy white clouds in a bright, blue serene sky... as just below many of his children cry?
"Boo hoo hoo..." sounds a lot like "God, where the hell are you?" With all due respect (though truthfully I don't believe you're due all that much) who taught you how to love? Who taught you how to care? Who led you to believe that we, your creation that never asked to be created, would enjoy being left down here? Yes, you, God... father almighty, all knowing, all powerful, and said to be filled with light and love, you could clear stuff up! You can ease the rough, you could finally (after promising us) show up, but, instead you choose to hide behind cryptic lines and antiquated laws?
God, I'm yours! I'm taught to believe this and praise that I am, however, nowadays that weighs more negatively upon my shoulders than it tends to warm me when I'm colder. I'm supposed to put you first and foremost meanwhile whenever I "call" you up I get a dial tone! I get dead air, I get the feeling that you don't really care! Dare I speak my mind and my truth, when it comes to you, you're no different than any other situation or person on this earth that I've been abandoned upon...
You want my love, my faith, my promise, and my unwavering belief? You have to earn that from me... I ain't just giving it away! Most especially not after countless rough days, continuous unexplained ways and repeatedly feeling betrayed! Take me being gay for instance...
I've broken down to you how and why I'm able to prove that IT WAS NOT A CHOICE! I was born gay, and I'm taught to believe that you made me... you made me in your vision, you dont make mistakes and I was born the way you decided: as a guy who likes guys. I had no say, no explanation, no heads up and I was then taught that you have no love for "fags!" I may be an adult now, I may be stronger and more confident and able to live as "fuck them if they dont like that I like men!" However, i was 10 when i was taught that I'm yours, made by you as you saw fit, you dont mess up and you dont like gays, "Great, so God made me to hate me!" As if that wasn't horrific enough to plant in the head of a child that was 10, then..."
