About the Book

The “Golden Rule” not withstanding the catastrophe of  9-11,  the world has been thrown into chaos.  Here, upon the shores of U.S. America, have the people experienced the certain effects of  this chaos:

 

*Constitutional Rights curtailed

*Religious Freedom maligned

*Economic instability  realized

*Overall  Health Care   eroded

*Public Education jeopardized

 

Mr. Jackson’s follows the footprint of his earlier work, takes a close up look at the weavings leading up to the present condition experienced in the world.   It presents this close-up expose through a blend of  poetry and frank discourse.  Its unique viewpoint is set around the concerns of U.S America’s Black population and the American Dream.

 

Presently, the prevailing spirit has made it difficult for the Spirit of Truth to reside, to intercede.  We award accolades  and we garner congratulatory wreaths where might we should urge patience and exercise humility.  Thus, have we slid into an era of insensitivity and mean-spirited intent. -SHORN SHARER–Leavings is a unique account of this dissuasion. Imbibe this protracting voice of concern--SHORN SHARER.
