Our country is in dire distress; a large number of terrorists are trying to destroy our properties, destroy our way of life and kill us! And the number of them appears to be increasing every day. Additionally, throughout the world, there appears to be growing resentment to our 'American attitude', our way of life, our foreign policy, especially as it relates to our use of force, and our support for Israel. Yet at this crucial time in our history, when we should be pooling all our resources, working in concert with each other, and constructing creative strategies to defeat terrorism, we appear to be doing the complete opposite. Patriotism, moral values, immigration Christianity, evolution, intelligent design, the war in Iraq, and gay marriages are some of the issues that are being used by some of our leaders to drive wedges between us. The poems in this book are thought provoking, confrontational, satirical, compositions for discussion or reflections on all of these issues and more. Written in a wide variety of poetic styles, these poems (some that are very humorous) can be read for the shear enjoyment of them. Enjoy!

    Edward V Bonner
