Knight After the Reign, the sixth chapter in Michael Wade Johnson's writing saga, comes full circle and brings everything up to speed. These poems, rants, lyrics, and other ideas I simply call "writings" include themes such as love, sex, depression, self-reflection, sarcastic humor, darkness, pop culture, worldly events, and politics. Knight After The Reign represents a warrior after his time, no longer in his prime. The plot then revolves around his continuation with life beyond the reaching of his peak. How he survives out of the spotlight and away from his initial purpose. Tales of old, tales of new. Fact and fiction. This book spotlights the legacy of a fifteen year writing career.
