There are fifteen chapters in this book of poetry. In each chapter there are appropriately 20 to 25 poems. The chapters topics include ones exploring self, humor, places I've been, early youth, relationships with my father and mother, one on ravings, another on death, and another on personalities from work, among others. Here is one poem of the many: CHILD COUNTING Counting now. Today putting the digits together. One, two, three, four, six. No says the teacher, wrong says the teacher. One, three, four, five, six. No says the teacher, wrong says the teacher. One, two, four, five, six. Wrong again says the teacher. The boy looks at the teacher. The boy says to the teacher. It doesn't matter at all ever. The teacher looks at the boy. The teacher says. One, two, three, four, five, six. The close of another school day.

I begin. There is nothing. There are no thoughts, no actions. The blank page stares back at me. I wonder where the ideas will come from? Battling through the fears and self doubts. I doubt myself. I don't know why! I have always been the shy, scared clown? Why! Could my childhood, filled with put-downs and empty of praises, hold the key? That's too easy. In truth, my nature is spun from my father's, and his sense of inferiority and dissatisfaction. Does this help me as I sit here amidst skyscraper avenue attempting to formulate these sketches. Wait! My pen is quivering. The words are forming around an idea; I have the picture. Contact! I am ready to start writing these thirty-seven pieces for your delight, pieces sometimes humorous, usually thoughtful, and always entertaining.

She was tall, dark and one hell of a handsome, sexy woman, still roaring to go even in her late forties. She bounced through the bar wearing her tight pink sweater, tight black leather pants and high-heeled, high-rising black boots. Her nails were long like a cat and red. Her eyes burned with desire. There, a man of good build, wide chest, and tight rump, stood. Not a bad face, she thought. Yes, he might do. From: Swing A Soft Stick. So begins one of Elias Sassoon's often humorous, thoughtful, and entertaining stories in Sassoon's Friends.

Constantine Vlacmose was anything, but weird. How could a weird man hold down a responsible job like his, a job that called for the utmost stability, mental clarity, intestinal fortitude, fearlessness, well, you get the idea now. You don't think being a cabby in New York City is easy, do you! You try dealing with the crowded streets, the thousands of cars, buses, and trucks, two million on-rushing pedestrians, blaring noise, accidents, cops, firefighters, and assorted other distractions. Easy, are you joking! From: Are You An Ass, A Fool, Or A You-Know-What? So begins one of Elias Sassoon's short stories in Sassoon's Sketches For A Saturday Afternoon.Sassoon is often humorous, usually thoughtful, and always entertaining in these enchanting tales.

Sarah and Abraham (Abe) Klein lived ordinary lives for most of their existence. There were the ups and downs, money troubles, sickness, and disappointments, but nothing uncommon. It changed in their golden years. They'd become wards of the court, so to speak, or, better said, pawns in the struggle between their daughter, Abigail and son-in-law, Zaki. In the process, they'd lose their freedom and their lives. Supported financially by their daughter, and living under her roof, they became the subjects of pity. They also became defenseless in the face of attack by their son-in-law. From: PEACEFUL LIVES STRETCHED TO THE END So begins one of Elias Sassoon's stories in The Sassoon Society. Sassoon is often humorous, usually thoughtful, and always entertaining in these enchanting tales.

THU. APR. 10, 2008 - Better frame of mind than yesterday. Today, just confused. Could be aging process. Times when the mind is clear. Other times, it's a blur. Curious. Other thoughts. Wonder if I'm revealing too much in conversations? Thoughts unending. Useful? Strange, contorted thoughts. Good? Can be. Thinking is free as long as you keep it inside. However, moment you reveal thoughts, the world pounces; you are on the outside looking in. Inner thoughts, wrapped in a cloak of amiability. The way to go. Time passing at work. Depressed. Why? Hard to unearth. The mind hides. Mind and body not in sync; the trouble starts. People acting out for reasons unknown to them; become aggressive as a result. Mind concealing the ideas. The individual disconnected. Underlining feelings building. Explosions. Back to reality. Leaving work soon. Back to the living. What's is that? Wonder. What will I be to the living one million years from now? Odd thought that goes no where but down into the depths.

An Individual's Dream: Essays On The Philosophy Of Sassoon

pokkari
The individual is under constant pressure. What is an individual? How are they distinguished from the mass man? What is role identity and how is it incompatible with individualism? How is the abstraction, the ideology, the religious identity incompatible with individualism? Why is the crowd opposed to the individual? What methods does it use to suppress them? How can individuals fight back against the masses aligned against them? These questions are explored in this collection of essays. Those representing collectivization are in charge everywhere. From their thrones, they rule with the goal of destroying individuality along with the individual's creativity and originality, except in cases where those qualities can be used to raise profit margins. These collectivized humans, always dull, unoriginal and walking cliches possess the physical power of the majority. This makes the individual vulnerable and a target. If the individual does not stand their ground, they are lost to the maddening crowd.

3 story openings, 3 first person story accounts...I am a wife and a mother. Think I do both well. I provide for all the needs of my husband and that includes the sexual thing. Why am I bitching? Wouldn't you if you suddenly find dirty books in my husband's dresser drawer. They're not just dirty but disgusting. From DIRTY BOOKS POLISHED CLEAN..."Why is it mom, you don't talk to your sisters?" my single daughter asks. A natural question, one she's asked before. Sure she'd be curious. I have five sisters and don't speak to any of them. From: SISTERS IN ANGER AND INDIFFERENCE...Don't think I have to justify myself to you, but I will to teach you a lesson. There are those who say it's stupid to get involved in finance; they're the same ones who ask for handouts. Never had to ask for a handout in my life, not for myself or for Ronnie, my wife. Knock on wood, I'm now sending the my girls through college. Had it planned years ago. Pretty good right! ...From: A MONEY MAN EXPLAINING HIS POSITION

Everybody does it; everybody has to do it; everybody has to live through it. Whether you're born of wealth or into poverty, you cannot avoid it! Work, as in going to work, that's it. Work, it's the crux of the matter for those who live on Earth. Today, most toil at jobs in modern office buildings with computers and gadgets to process and transmit digitized information. Who do we work for? In one way or another, for major corporations that control all. We workers are specs in the system. Our lives are consumed in that system. That's why we need to take a closer at what the job means. Who is your boss? Who are your co-workers? How do you fit in? What is the significance for you? How does it all relate? The poetry collection explores this world from a personal angle. Hopefully, it will help you reflect. That is the goal anyway.

These essays were undertaken because of the need. As long as people continue to live unhappily, isolated and without hope; there will be that need. The question, will humans admit to their unhappiness? Most pretend all is right with the individual. We're governed by inhumanity and ruled by the inhumane. Evil controls; good retreats. The greedy, narrow-minded, and inarticulate triumph; the bright and brilliant watch. It's a world of falsifiers claiming to be in search of truth, and claiming to be people of reason and integrity. They're really after the fortune, and achieve it by catering to the needs of the greater public. Give the people what they want. These hucksters form impregnable clicks that excludes the true individual who is feared, and suppressed at every turn. The huckster, or barbarians, as we call them - those that represent collectivization - rule. From their thrones, they eye humanity as a formless clump to be manipulated for their own purposes. These barbarians hate the common man and their creativity and originality, but will always use them to raise their profit margins. These collectivized barbarians are always dull, unoriginal, and the walking clich s of this earth. The individual - who is excluded from the collectivization process - is powerless to break down the massive walls the barbarian have constructed. They can only stand their ground and never doubt themselves. If they do, they are lost to the maddening crowd. The bottom line, the individual is under constant attack. What is an individual? How are they distinguished from the mass man? What is role identity and how is it incompatible with individualism? How is the abstraction, the ideology, the religious identity incompatible with individualism? Why is the crowd so opposed to the individual? What methods does the crowd use to suppress them? How can they fight back and win against the masses aligned against them? These questions are explored in this collection of philosophical essays.

Sassoon On The Art Of Creative Writing

The book is a compilation of articles I wrote for my daily blog on Facebook. The focal point is the life of the everyday, beaten-down writer and what it takes to be a writer facing the ordinary adversities of the craft. I don't try to sugarcoat anything; instead, I attempt to let you know what it means to be a functioning writer who struggles for each word, and struggles with the lack of financial and commercial success. How does the ordinary writer who works at a mundane job by day and writes by night hold it together? How do they continue to be productive? How do they continue to inspire themselves in a world that doesn't care? How do they keep themselves from becoming bored? All of this is explored in the articles contained in this small book on the creative writing process. I hope it can act as an inside look to all those interested in the subject or working in the field.

FREEZONED HIGH SCHOOL: Destruction Within 21st Century, American Education

The stories in the collection concern a typical suburban, public high school. Typical is the operative word. Tax money poured in by the local community for extraordinary services provided to all school-age children. Money spent everywhere: acclaimed educators hired, spectacular facilities built, resources like computers and laboratory equipment acquired, extra-curricular activities created, yet the outcome? Academic failure, violence, drugs, gangs, and, drop-out rates approaching fifty percent. There is the result! Why? Where has the money gone? The resources gone? The stories provide a glimpse and a few answers. There are portraits of students, teachers, and, school administrators. In these you can figure the reasons for the failures. Often, the failure is a combination of forces, the kids themselves, instability of parents and extended families, poor teachers and administrators, and, a bureaucracy gone wild. To pinpoint any one cause as a reason for the school's record is difficult at best.
