This book takes a philosophical approach to life using the language of poetry. The direct approach often seems to be harsh and repulsive, words can convey imageries of the 'big stick' method, or on the other hand can express gentility without changing the message. The human condition is the same everywhere and weather we use the hard' or 'soft approach is circumstantial. I choose love and compassion in the battlefield of life, appealing to the transcendent nature in humans rather than the raw primitive survival of the fittest tendencies lurking in the dark recesses of the subconscious. Any form of violence, weather by word or by deed could only lead to a tearing apart of humanity leading to the demise of all that is good and benevolent. To rob another human of life or liberty is to destroy your own since your existence is a reflection of the other. Accountability and responsibility for the planet and to all life forms must be our main goals or else we are forever lost following the way of the Dodo bird.
