Graffiti Revisited

Graffiti Revisited is a commentary, in verse, on the apparent evidence that, in spite of the phenomenal progress the human race seems to have made, nothing seems to have changed in the conduct of both private and public human affairs.It seems, currently, fashionable to question religious values, to de-emphasize personal discipline and responsibility and to explore new meanings of, and expand the boundaries to, human rights. None of this is new as this has been the cyclical habit of humanity in previous societies and civilizations.What is, also, habitual, is that there is always a small minority of persons and groups who lament, struggle to prevent, to reverse or postpone, what, always, appears to be too hasty a stampede of humanity, against all received sense and reason, to self-destruction.Graffiti Revisited is one of such struggles, in verse. It is a review, and rewriting of some, of the poems in the earlier edition, together with the addition of new poems written before and since the first GRAFFITI edition.
