- What You Need to Know About Me:
- Robert L. Hines, a military veteran, was born in deep East Texas , on a dairy farm in the small town of Carthage. He was raised by Sefron and Casie Hines. Robert attended Carthage public schools through the 11th grade. During this time, he learned carpentry and auto mechanics well enough to support an independent life style. At an early age he was introduced to drugs and alcohol, which eventually led him into a drug rehabilitation center. In November 1995, while in rehab, he began to write poetry. The writing was much needed therapy to sobriety he so desperately sought. He wrote day and night. The more he wrote, the more he felt he had to write. Today Robert has two published books of poetry and he continues to write.

J.R.,
Overall the story sounds intriguing. As I read it, I wanted to know more (to unfold). I love the title. It seems like it has the makings of a film. I would need to read it more in depth to give you my deepest thoughts. You're taking care of ...

I recently read a poem from your book entitled "Abandoned" in the editorial the Street Zine. The article stated that you had the book containing this poem published by the Cheudi Publishing Company in Plano, TX. I was wondering if you could aid me in publishing some of my own work. I figured you have a lot of experience in this area and I am in dire need of assistance. If it's okay, could you send me a message regarding this information? Thanks,
Brandon Fuller

What do you know about me, homeless.
Do you think I was born this way
Or maybe I just gave up on me.
In a way you may be right
But there’s always a past I’ve left behind.
I could have been a professor or even a doctor
That just caught a few bad breaks in life.
Maybe I was driven to this zone where I found Comfort
Because there are no demands or responsibilities there.
Whatever the case a part of me died and
There seems to be no way of capturing it back.
You see there’s hopelessness beyond belief
For I don’t really know that I’m truly dead.
I say dead because I’m dead inside
With no one to turn to and no where to hide.
It’s the spiritual death I wish upon no person
But will inevitably fall upon many to come.
Not all of us will survive or re-flourish
Because in the end some of us will die.
Before it’s too late ask the Lord Jesus for help
Then do the footwork for the journey ahead is long!
