| Publisher Description: When you describe something as 'poetry', it's a very quick way to put people off from reading further, for poetry is often only personal and vaguely understandable to many others. These social-story-poems you will understand. They are about you. They are like parts of a jigsaw; as you read them you will put the pieces together. The stories, like a jigsaw, form a whole picture. We call them social-story-poems because that's what they are, they're not just poems, and yet, they're not just stories. Many are both and they are all connected. They are about social justice and its lack in our Globally Warming World. They are about the causes and effects of inhuman and un-social policies inflicted by the powerful upon the majority of our human race. These days, we're called the 99%. If you want to get a sense and feel for the whole book, read the two pieces on Chess, they're from our last book, 'Seeds of Needs'. They're appropriate. We've put them at the beginning so you can read them first. Both of these social-story-poems hit the subject from two different sides. In our last book we gave equal voice to the 99% and the 1%. This book is a little different, for it has to do with gaining a sense about something that you know is wrong. And that, as an individual, there is little you can do. And yet, only you can do what little you can. You want improvement? - Join a movement. We, like you, are limited in what we can do, but social commentary story-poems combined with drawings and paintings that say a thousand words, we can but try. We all need to be affected and not distracted from the reality of the moment. Where we're at, is one of the few real moments in human history where the clock ticks and time really counts. This is our third book in a Trilogy on Global Warming Awareness. Humanity is at a crossroads and there is only a choice of two possible futures that await us. Our first book is about this choice. In there are only two short stories, one is about the seeds of our sorrow, the policies of the 1%, and the other is about the seeds of our hope - us, the 99. |
