has always been the motto that drives PD. Now nearing a decade, .the
Poets of Prysmatic Dreams selflessly share resources, time and inexhaustible
amounts of energy.
By example, they inspire others to do the same. Over the years the
rank and file has grown by leaps and bounds. This in turn has promoted
a Reach Back philosophy and a Pay it Forward mentality that expands
when each new soul takes on the dream. Activist, teachers, preachers
and poets. Above all. Prysmatic Dreams is a unifying force in our
society. As individuals they honestly care about people and the world
we live in. As a group that proactive concern becomes an explosion
of empowerment.

I don't have prejudice against myself. My father was a white and
my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. I'm not
on nobody's side. I'm not on on the black man's side nor the white
man's side. I'm on God's side, the one who create me and cause me
to come from black and white. ......."BOB MARLEY"
