A collection of poems written over the past two years , the title poem aspires to influence the outcome of the November election by enflaming those inclined to participate in the voting process, as well as persuade undecided voters, calling out the errant agendas of miscreants in leadership roles. Other poems settle with injustices of the sixth grade, praise the artistry of jazz drummer Elvin Jones, the visual art of Matthew Wong, and herald the arts in general as a salve for bewilderment and isolation. There's a good-bye to a beloved friend and an epithalamion that points out the significance of the pledged.
