ABOUT BOOK

Poets teach and delight. They are as conscious of the sounds sentences make as they are of their meaning. Readers will find that each of these poems demands little of their time in exchange for an outsized impact like poems written in Old English.

Subjects include the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Trump and the Republicans, the Israel lobby, human and civil rights for Blacks, human and civil rights for Palestinians, a woman's right to choose, the January 6 insurrection, religions, gay rights, transgender rights, immigrants, childhood, Democrats, women's equality, evolution, the pandemic, climate change, Senator Bernie Sanders, representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Brionna Taylor, Netanyahu, and more. Many of these poems were inspired by books, newspaper articles, and opinion pieces, which are footnoted here so the reader can find and read what inspired the poem.

Readers will learn how the Israel lobby, which is the richest and most effective lobby group in Washington, has hurt America. Read this book and find out why those Arabs attacked us on 9/11. Find out here what the media is not allowed to tell you. The lobby suppresses discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the media, in education, and in Congress. The author has been the target of the Israel lobby for years and continues to be.
