Amazon.com description: Product Description: The Message is a collection of short fiction and "floetry" (hip-hop influenced poetry) by active playwright and poet Bobby Brown of Omaha, Nebraska. Brown's writings are heavily influenced by his life experiences and personal philosophy, often discussing racism, drug abuse, religion, and relationships between men and women. Brown's sense of humor shows through in several of the pieces, providing a light touch to the otherwise serious, underlying meaning of the collection.
