The black sheep whose wool turned gold was birthed from the injustice Quentin Cephus felt after transforming his lifestyle from a criminal lifestyle to self improving to legitimacy, exceeding the standards that are held firmly in place for a convicted felon. The said author's federal probation was violated for driving under the influence. The said author felt as if he didn’t deserve the unjust, biased treatment that he was burdened with, as he was captured by the US marshals from his 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with a pool in the backyard, around sunrise on January 7th 2021, taken from heaven to the hell hole of the Orange County Corrections Department. Quentin Cephus felt is the judge didn't take into consideration the success he achieved legitimately such as gaining meaningful employment at a bank, starting a family, publishing The Loose Noose (MS.EPPS), graduating with highest honors with his associates degree, majoring in business administration and also beginning his bachelors degree program. Without an outlet to express his anger and frustration, Quentin Cephus expressed himself through poetry. This poem book is a mixture of the thoughts which were flowing through the mind of Quentin Cephus during his confinement. At times Quentin Cephus would wake up miserable (view the poem miseries my best friend). There were times Quentin Cephus doubted God (view Lord please answer my prayers). There were times when Quentin Cephus came to his senses and thanked God for his benevolence and grace (view God is good all the time) Each feeling which Quentin Cephus felt was written in a rhythmic poem format, and published upon his release.
