ABOUT
THE AUTHOR
First, let me say the most important thing. I would love to hear your comments. Now, a piece about me. It's been a while since I've dusted off the "quill" (or should I say keyboard?). In the meantime, I've found that I am now a Junior in College pursuing a career in psychiatry. I am certainly older and hopefully a bit wiser too. As always, I hope you enjoy my work and that it will jumpstart your inquisitive nature. Read on! [December 2003]

The Harbinger's Herald Daniel Birnbaum
�There was fear here,� the mother warned the child.
Japanese men smiled uncomfortably,
& American soldiers shot the Japanese men.
What a tribute to their expired comrades.
A nation was caught asleep
By exploding glass
And sheering metal girders
A sound imprinted itself upon the collective mind.
�There was lack of understanding here,� the mother cautioned the child.
British soldiers came to protect an empire.
But they forgot the culture around them.
Life was the back payment the tribesman collected.
A President sounded his herald�s horn.
�Awake mighty nation, you are threatened.�
But what could possibly harm a nation sustained by ideas?
Was the threat physical or abstract?
�There was pridefulness here,� the mother cautioned the child.
A Roman empire thought
It could bestow all power into the hands of one man
And withstand the same corruption and destruction an Emperor�s character faced.
He invoked the weapons trained upon children.
He illuminated organized men dedicating their lives towards your life�s end.
But all he meant was he felt something wrong in part of the world.
Communication is the key.
�There was a true heart here,� the mother beckoned the child.
This man lost his riches and needed a meal.
His benefactor gave him charity without even knowing his name
His benefactor understood there was a need.
