Pollyanna wanted a cracker to edit the chaotic bold print declaring the world gone insane. Black on white pools of day old cracker carpet bomb and redact a fresh layer of yesterday’s hopelessness. The patient Cheshire sits and grins as fat Pollyanna sits and shits, a day late and a cracker short, eyes closed to tomorrow.

Hmm, you've penned a thought provoking write my friend. I think we all feel as though the world has gone insane, sometimes a bit hopeless, and that chaos is devouring society...maybe Pollyanna has the right idea...creative approach to a look at the devastating events that are occurring around our world today!

Rusty, this is a real mind-teaser... a wickedly pointed funhouse write. Love it!
For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
