Ralph Stokes

I AM A MAN

I WISH FOR THE WORLD TO KNOW WHO I AM...
I AM A MAN, TAKEN FROM THE LAND IN WHICH I WAS
TO BE A LABORER FOR MY LOVED ONES.
NOW I SIT IN A MODERN MADE CAVE. WATCHING
AGE SET IN. AND LIFE PASS ME BY.
MY CAVE SITS IN A DITCH SURROUNDED BY HILLS.
I CAN ONLY SEE THE SKY.
I WISH TO RUN TO THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN AND
SCREAM MY NAME TO THE WORLD...
"I AM RALPH T. STOKES", "I AM RALPH T. STOKES"...
SITTING IN THIS CAVE I SOMETIMES FORGET I AM A MAN.
THE COLD AIR THAT BLOWS UPON ME DAY AND NIGHT.
IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE AN ANIMAL...
I AM A MAN, I AM A MAN: THIS I MUST REPEAT TO
MYSELF, IN ORDER TO KEEP MY SANITY.
I SEEK LIFE, I SEEK A RENEWED SPIRIT. I SEEK PEACE...
THE WORLD IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE... I NEVER GOT A
CHANCE TO LIVE IN IT...

"I AM 37 YEARS OF AGE. 5' 11"...
INTEREST... R&B; AND JAZZ MUSIC... I ENJOY READING VERY ENLIGHTENING BOOKS. (BOOKS FOR THE SOUL)

I ENJOY SPORTS SUCH AS, FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, HOCKEY AND HAVE RECENTLY BECOME INTERESTED IN SOCCER.

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOVER OF ANIMALS, A QUALITY OF LIFE THAT I LEARNED TO APPRECIATE FROM A VERY YOUNG CHILD. I AM CARING, UNDERSTANDING, VERY OPEN MINDED AND MOST ALL HONEST.

IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE SEEKING UNCONDITIONAL FRIENDSHIP, THAT CAN ALLOW ME TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR EYES, CONTACT ME BY E-MAIL OR AT THE ADDRESS LISTED BELOW:
