Excerpt from Straight to the Point
When fate doth press her bitter cup, And you are down from strife and pain, And someone stoops to help you up, That you may your former place regain, He is a friend!
The man in whom you can confide, Has judgment good to give advice, Whose interests seem with yours allied, No matter what the sacrifice, He is a friend!
All men are not born equal, but all men should have an equal chance.
Behind the smile on many a face, A look of sorrow we plainly trace.
There's nothing equal to peace of mind; Among all the treasures that we hold, The mental sunshine in it confined Is worth far more to us than gold. For if the heart is rent and torn On every side by care and strife, Gold seems a mockery, a thing forlorn; A peaceful mind is the wealth of life.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. From despair to ambition, virtue to vice, this book provides keen insight into the innermost workings of human nature through a collection of insightful and often witty poems that explore and define the very essence of our humanity. The author combines powerful storytelling with an ability to see into the hearts and minds of both great and ordinary people, mirroring our everyday experiences of love, hate, joy, sorrow, hope, and despair. The author analyzes these experiences, exploring how our thoughts and actions often subvert our intentions and set us on paths we never intended to tread. The book also examines the devastating social consequences of greed, inequality, and poverty and considers how we can build a just and humane world for all, a pursuit which is ultimately advanced through the work of good men and women: those 'wheat of the earth' who stand in resolute opposition to the rogues and rascals who prey on humanity. This wise and wide-ranging collection of poems cuts to the very heart of the human condition, exposing its inherent contradictions and exploring our constant struggle to find meaning and purpose in the face of life's many contradictions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
