Publisher Description
Rap to Mars, a book of poetry, satire, and prose, attempts by words and art to dissect and sift through diverse aspects
of the life of man in his quest to assert himself as the king or queen of the universe. This is even in spite of mans
obvious lapses, frailties, and entrapment.
During the course of various attempts, sometimes, success smiles on man. But when failures present themselves,
arrogant and deceitful man refuses to accept his obvious limitations.
Often, in his ever-willing efforts to deceive the more gullible, man in his cowardice plays the monkey that uses the cats
paws to extract nuts from the fi re.
From a safe distance, the minion, man, details his more gullible fellow men to sacrifi ce themselves and others in silly
and assumed defense of the Almighty Maker. The martyr and suicide bomber along with their victims become the
willing and unwilling by-products
But even in spite of his sometimes comical shenanigans, man, who unsuccessfully plays the angel on Earth, remains
man and suffers or causes others to suffer the pains arising from a perpetual struggle between the good and the bad as
represented in Rap to Mars by Earths angels, suicide bombers, and whores.
At the end of the day, man, mere mortal man, still fi nds himself trapped in his self-imposed cocoon of a shanty or a
mansion. In the latter, man again plays the elitist parent of a lone child while the downtrodden fi nd their pleasure by
doggedly obeying the injunction of increase and multiply.
Rap to Mars is a mixed grill of fun, challenges, and what the evolving society was, what it is, and what it should fi ght
hard not to be.
