New novel. My 11th book. You can get it here: https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/dadownie1

It'll be on Amazon, Barnes & Noble et al. in due course. 

This Country

 

This country is being run by a bunch of juvenile delinquents

a mass case of arrested development

a collective failure to grow up

a flood of fools forever blocked from reaching maturity

 

with any luck the dam will burst

and they’ll all rush downstream

like the swift action of a toilet flushing

Prophets

 

The existence of prophets is evidence of the nonexistence of God

if the word of God always comes second hand, then God is a coward

and that does not compute

 

for all of the prophets to be liars is not a hard thing to add up, however
