America Thy Simmering Agony

This book is the poetic expression of the smoldering pain this great country has of late been subjected to, on account of sleazy power politics, and sordid games of vengeance and retribution. Equally inflicted is this land of the brave by some insidious design, aimed at replacing lofty values and principles of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence with atheistic dogmas, almost bordering on despicable nihilism. What is really pathetic is that there are some forces that seem bent on advancing certain agendas that will eventually jeopardize our position as the uncontested leader of the Free World. Therefore, this book calls for all Americans to realize the true essence of being American, and continue to promote great ideals and principles, virtually based on the most celebrated doctrine of 'Universality of Spirit'. This apart, 'America Thy Simmering Agony' also represents an idyllic confluence of philosophy, science, religion and spirituality. Couple of poems' subtle attempt at evoking aesthetic passion has certainly added to its aroma. "It is my ardent desire to see the Star Spangled Banner of Hindu America flutter in every corner of the world, with the message of democracy, human rights, rule of law, equality, justice, and freedom, as a vivid reflection of our undying faith in human soul." -Excerpt from AMERICA TATTWAMASI
