The DNA of Democracy
An American Poet takes a novel look at Democracy through a series of essays in “The DNA of Democracy.” The author visits upon democracy’s rare occurrences in history, from its western origins in Athens and Rome, to its long evolutional growth in England, and the utterly unique establishment of democracy in America, where the combined influences of the Amerindian’s view of life, some revolutionary old world philosophers and a generation of rebel, warrior poets wrought an unprecedented nation! The work expounds on the exploding genius this combination of influences let loose in a free America, which with time created a shining era of unprecedented glory…
These essays are works of discovery and celebration concerning the rare, the life giving, and the fragile quality of American democracy.

Shadows of the Acropolis
As it was with the democracy of ancient Athens, America’s democracy has, over time, been subject to change, proving democracy is as fragile as it is rare. The shadows now falling over American democracy are not from obvious sources, but from age old, unsuspected ones, which tend to the creation of tyranny. Defining the causes and consequences of these changes provides the hope we may hold, to restore American democracy’s proper foundations and glories. This volume of essays discovers the threats that a growing centralized concentration of power can pose to the self-governance of a free people.
The latter essays of the book spell out, in the end, how to reverse that concentration, by mechanisms as old and as new as the republic.

Passages through the Shadows
Passages through the Shadows is Volume III of a multi award winning, critically acclaimed series. Passages is a compilation of articles written in real time over the past year, based on current events. The work discloses the true state of our government through facts, commentary and previous histories related in the Shadows series. Each of the articles are short, independent, high impact ventures into the truth surrounding where we are as a society today. The span of interest is as wide as a year’s worth of headlines: from campus revolt’s, to antisemitism, to crises in the Middle East, to the causes of runaway inflation, to the political persecution of conservatives and more, viewed within the context of how and why our country was founded as she was… and how and why the Democrat Party has concentrated the power and wealth of the United States into their own party. The book’s articles explains how outside of our “common” Constitution the Democrat Party is now operating and how that party uses lawless power to oppress political opponents and average citizens. I believe the best medicine for what ails our nation is relating the truth about the causes which presently ail us all, in a country that has fallen off its foundations.
