It has been about two thousand years since the life of Jesus Christ, but his memory has not been forgotten. The Bible is the most read book of all time, and recently movies have come out about Jesus. How then is it that Christianity has gotten so far from the teachings and life of the basis for the belief? We have gone from a man who always showed love to everyone and a man who was poor in earthly standards, to a religion with materialism and elitism. Enter a world where Kings rule and Priests reign. In this world, there are only two countries, and neither knows about the other one. The first country is ruled by the High Priest, who speaks on behalf of the creator. The people of this country have a large set of rules to follow, and because of their morality, they have thrived as a nation. Their city has large buildings, and their temple resembles that of a very powerful King. The people here worship the creator, and they do not tolerate anyone who doesnat believe what they do. The country is divided into two classes: the believers and the unbelievers. The unbelievers are struck with poverty and disease. They are on the brink of annihilation, with no hope in sight. Across the ocean is another country that is ruled by their King. The King is a servant of the people, and he always puts the peopleas needs in front of his own. His family has always been in power, but the King is growing old, and he was not able to have a son, only a daughter. The people of this country do not worship the creator, for they know nothing about him. They put all of their hope in their King. A new man soon arrives to this country, and he catches the eye of the princess. The people look to this man to be their newKing, but this man has ulterior motives for the throne. The only one who can challenge him for the throne is a young man who is in an inner struggle between the forces of evil and the forces of good. You see, the world has not always been this way, for the creator was once the focus of all who roamed the earth. What went wrong, and why did the creator let it happen? Will the forces of dark win, or will light once again cover the world? Will false religion win, or will love?

A collection of poems about some of the historical experiences of African Americans and about such prominent people as Benjamin Banneker, Matthew Henson, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, and Leontyne Price.

"Peter was a friend, colleague and politically courageous champion of the downtrodden and mistreated of the entire Western Hemisphere."—Ralph Nader This is the autobiography of a remarkable life. As The New York Times wrote, "A first generation Venezuelan-American . . . Mr. Camejo [spoke] out against the Vietnam War and for the rights of migrant workers. He marched in Selma, Alabama, with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King." Peter Camejo (1939-2008) founded the California Green Party, won 360,000 votes in his run for governor in 2002, and ran as Ralph Nader's vice presidential candidate in 2004.
