OCCUPIED TERRITORIES
"Between screaming Rocket Propelled Grenades and barking Kalashnikovs, Someone is crying out for more blood to be spilled.
Innocent bystanders like women, children and old men Caught in the cross fire, are picked off one by one. ...meanwhile,
Someone earnestly trying to find God in all of this, Straps on a bomb and contemplates suicide as an exit strategy."

About the Book
The poems and commentaries within these pages are an expression of a collection of individuals (everyday people), who have suffered from a partial or total loss of memory. They have forgotten how to love, how to temper justice with mercy. They've forgotten the joy of youthful exuberance and the wisdom that comes with time. They have forgotten time honored values or that under the skin we are one in the same. They have forgotten that there is something bigger than all of us and now they worship the creation and not the creator. As a people, we have become self absorbed and self indulgent. These expressions will aid in reminding us about what is really important, what is really in our hearts, or what should be.
