The Serious Merchant

“When he met Masćyma his youthful innocence was fully intact, uncorrupted, undisturbed by the nature of her burden.” #HillsofExile

Haven’t You Learn Anything?

“Are you out there? Are you hearing me? Haven’t you learn your lesson? Are you falling in love again?”

“Yes!”

“But!–”

“I want to live not die.”

“All those wounds are you sure?”

“Yes and you should join me. Trust me it changes everything.”

“I don’t want to change unless I can be healed.

“It will brings you back to innocence.”

“Well then, in that case…I am coming.”

Things That Kill

As she lied, her last breath fluttered lightly.  “your fragility will depend on how much you love. Don’t give your love unless you want to die.”

A Dark Laughter: The wolves were spotted (this time) wearing sheep clothes

I have seen the light.

It wasn’t bright, it wasn’t dark.

Neutrality fades away so quickly,

It was never even a light, but an illusion.

So many haters fill this wall

I can hear their shadows screaming envy.

Their laughter, cacophony!

There’s no euphony here

And it will only take one man with dead vision

To plummet the system out of existence.

Just as much as it takes one hater to pollute the minds

Of the thin headed it must take the same.

A strong soul left out in the dark shall strive head high.

Just as much as it takes a hater, a dead vision,

It must take the strong soul

To pollute the minds of the thin headed positively.

I have surrendered to the notion that only those who you believe in

Have the sharpest sword to pluck

Deep into your dreams and if your are not strong you might falter

And they will laugh even if your blood runs a stream.

Beware! Beware! Beware!

Not all those who laugh with you have good intentions.

The Bio

McNonwuun, is a Liberian born author, script writer, director and producer. Rhode Island Colloege graduate B.A of Art&Science and minored in creative writing (including films and music study). Although he had been writing long before college, Hills Of Exile is his first novel available to the public. His passion for Art is something almost rooted in him. As his country was torn apart by war and violence, watching his parent separation and growing up a little bit too fast, McNonwuun turned to Art to heal his wounds and hope that through his works he can help other fast, McNonwuun turned to Art to heal his wounds and hope that through his works he can help other see the imperfections of humanity, but also realizing life has beauty, grace, love and worth every breathe we take. He is a deeply a serious thinker and tries to portray this persona of his through his writings, but he also takes pleasure in simple things and enjoying life. Working out, traveling to exotic places are next in line to his writing passion. His interest also ranges from deep space exploration, to music (Jazz, Celtic, R&b, Pop and more), history, politics, philosophy, current events and religious diversities. His favorite eras are the medieval era and 1890-1970, but as a person who likes to be involve in what’s happening around him, Mcnonwuun will tell you his interest continues to grow. One of his fascination is with war and the fact that one man (leaders, politicians) can cause so much destruction by imploring people, nations and groups to carry out vicious acts against humanity, sometimes without consequences.
As an artist, McNonwuun almost always wears his heart on his sleeves, and is not afraid to express his opinion or ask the questions that many avoid. This is mostly reflected in his writings and many other forms of arts. He is also a filmmaker who spent most of his time in that field.

The Lovers’ Complains

“He was a good man who sang and wrote to me for a week. This is his last letter, a poem, ‘Daughter Of Zion.’ Reverend I was falling for him and would have allowed him my heart. But then he failed miserably. Into the cold dark night he came moody and tense. There it was, between his legs, stood his firm, long and large tentacles as he smiled lustfully at me! I am a child of God! Created in his image! I will not fornicate or devour my body, which is the empale of God. I want him but he has to marry me before I gave him the key to this temple.”

Three Hours later…

“I have come from far Reverend, and by God what have I learn? Does mercy really exist and does God loves us continuously? I’m losing sight of that in this love dilemma of mine. Many things have become meaningless overtime. I was in love with her until she drained her love out of me with her vain attitudes. I love her though, but as a friend and maybe someday…but I wonder about the truth now that I think about it. And it frightens me even more because I’m just a man, I cannot afford to fall in and out of love. I want something’s to be eternal. Is she the one?”
“Go back to your knees your lover is in God’s hand.”
“But I’m young!”
“By God, age has little to do with love. You are young. Go to your knees. Pray. God has your wife.”

And just a thought…I wonder who’s telling the truth?

Copy Review

“Hills of Exile is the work of a potent imagination bred from eyes that have seen too much and a heart ever expanding. This is the beginning of a fine career, one we’ll all be wise to follow.”

The Song Of My Affair

So this is it hun? I thought I was alive until I met you and now I’m not sure what you are doing to me but mesmerize is only an understatement. How can you sing do beautifully and yet there so much to you even more!? Can one person have all this quality? Beauty and grace at the same time with such a tone and voice that I melt into you? Only you have taken me here and I promise with such a vision I will make you proud. Keep singing my love, keep sing. You are all that I need to stay alive to the vision quickening in my with such eagerness to burst. The universe is ready!

Excerpts from “Hills Of Exile”

“The butcher, John Townsend, with apron stained with animal manure and blood, stood in his butchery, swines haggling about his gibbets. He was chewing a yellow root that saturated his bushy beard with dry yellow saliva.” Hills Of Exile, coming this fall.
