My Pain, Your Pain

Meer over het boek

My Pain, Your Pain is a scintillating book consisting of fifty two poems that are written from the bottom of the heart. The poems cover a range of themes such as human pain, oppression, suffering, nature's lamentations, African consciousness and whispering voices. The poems are living experiences about the trials and tribulations of mankind in our contemporary world; and in some ways portray a pathetic lack of restrain in our power relations. No doubt some of the poems prick our conscience, evoke our sense of guilt, court our sympathy, raise our levels of consciousness, shake the very foundations of our values, and at the same time give us hope in the midst of despair. The book is thoroughly captivating, ensnaring and intoxicating, which breathes fresh air in a world fixated on science and technology. This is a powerful work of art which readers must experience in their life time.
