Four Decades and a Poem

About the Book

Every human is born with a soul that tends to human pain. It's natural. But also natural is to lose it in the process of "growing up". We ignore where we came from and where we are marching to in this fleeting journey. Focused on our selfish motive we do not care about the damage we have done to our universe. Four Decades and a Poem is deeply human and reminds people of this missing factor, taking you through a trail of emotions. Written in various forms, old and contemporary, the book teaches you that there is more to life than just living.

This is not about preaching or asking for unwanted change. As a city dweller, I am of the understanding that we are legally bound by social, cultural and political rights and yet of the knowledge that nothing can take our right to be human and no one, the right to steal that of another. Then, no change is needed.

Included are topics on child abuse, girl child, alcoholism and youth issues besides others that call you to make your own decision and fathom the depth of your soul.
