In this collection of poem by C. Lewis Clark the author shares an eclectic variety of poems not normally found together. Included are poems that range from deeply philosophical to blatantly silly; poems whose origins are found in faith, to poems reflecting on love and loss. The reader will be touched by poems that convey impressions of universal human emotions regarding life, love, faith and fun.

The nation seems poised on a precipice, ready to plunge into chaos. Each day new laws are passed and Supreme Court decisions rendered that anger ordinary citizens, while partisan politics begin to frustrate and even overwhelm some dedicated lawmakers at the nation's capital; lawmakers who must decide if they will resign, and perhaps take up arms. One by one some leaders and ordinary citizens begin to believe that active rebellion against Washington and its collective mindset, which seems to believe that Congress and the President must run the daily lives of the nation's inadequate citizenry, is the only way to solve the perhaps insurmountable chasm which has developed between the rulers and the ruled. Slowly, and then with increasing speed, states declare refusal to obey legislation signed by the President and . . . one by one states begin to declare independence from objectionable laws, as a new secessionist mindset develops in the Inter-mountain West. Some fear that a new Civil War is not only possible, but inevitable. This time it's not North versus South, but East versus West. As some race to succession and perhaps war, others desperately labor to stop and maybe even reverse the course of legislative arrogance that seems to be driving the nation to war with itself. Can the nation survive another time of brother against brother and father against son, as nanny-state laws seem to leave the unraveling Constitution hanging by a thread?
