"The Spoken Word"

Hardface is known as the truth seeker. He doesn’t want to be labeled as one type of poet. “I’m like water,” he said, quoting the late marital arts master Bruce Lee.

“Words are powerful,” said Hardface. “I want people to understand some things.” He said his future as a poet is bright as long as he continues to evolve and stay faithful to telling the truth.

Hardface wrote a poem called “I Need a Pill” after watching his ill mother suffer from the side effects of medication. He also watched a 27-year-old friend nearly die from a heart attack.

“I was just starting to notice that things in the world were about deception,” he said. “They tell us to eat this or take that, knowing in the long run we are going to need some type of medication to fix what that first action has messed up.”

Hardface hopes to “wake people up from this long sleep.” The way to do this, he said, is to start thinking, and quit taking things at face value.

“If we start questioning things that are going on and begin to seriously want answers, we just might find the world will be a better place,” said Hardface.

When asked how this could be accomplished, he said, “Just be smarter.”
