Not for the week hearted. "Second Shadow on the wall" is perhaps best described as provocative poetry with purpose. Intended to touch the untouchable, challenge conventional wisdom and dare the reader to come out of the sand box. It expresses sensitive compassion for the downtrodden, and revulsion for acts of inhumanity by man against mankind. It looks into the eyes of religion, politics, patriotic bravado, traditions, motherhood and apple pie. Forcing you to think, if a tap on the shoulder is deemed insufficient, it snatches away your security blanket or a good shake-up may follow.
