Most of us have eyes but we never choose to actually see. Most of us have ears to hear but we never choose to listen. This book, "The Awakening" is sounding a social alarm to encourage people not to live their life with their eyes shut. If you pretend that a problem doesn't exist, your pretensions will not make that problem go away. Quite frankly, it only exacerbates the dilemma. In a similar manner, if you ignore the plight of others, with your silence, you are tacitly helping to create a wider gulf between the disenfranchised and the liberated. "The Awakening" gives voice to the voiceless. It gives hope to the hopeless. It is a definitive reminder that God hasn't forgotten about you. I encourage you to come take a journey into the into the heart of the Biblical Poet.
