Man. Since the start of time, man has looked up at the sky with abject curiosity and wonderment, seeking validation for his existence and looking to discover the intricate and secret inner workings of the universe. In our searches, we have found ourselves toe to toe against some of the most important issues in life. Who made us? Why are we here? How do we take this planet, and the people that inhabit it, and make a strong, lasting cooperative society that benefits and protects all is precious people, flora and fauna; creating a civilization that lasts beyond the passing of time? These issues, namely the issues of religion and politics, are inspected in this volume from @Prose. Every facet of our ideologies - from battles against the Almighty, to the intricacies of modern American politics and government - all the biggest issues of our time, are put to the question and to the test in this anthology. Come along, on a journey that will threaten to shake the very foundations of your reality, forcing you to stand, judge and jury, as our very beliefs take the stand. Through these poems, prose and essays, we will explore those topics that most ensnare and enthrall us, intrigue and ignite us. Through these words, perhaps, we will begin to find the meaning of it all and, thus, the meaning of ourselves.
