This book gives the reader a fresh revelation of what it means to be fully human and provides a mythological roadmap to help humankind navigate the journey home. - From the foreword

Once upon a time (actually, right now) on a planet far, far away (actually, not that far) named Shibboul, the final battle between the forces of good and of evil is about to be waged.

  But wait. We're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's start at the beginning. In the beginning in Shibboul was the word. And then another word. Then a sentence; then a paragraph; then even more words; and before you knew what had happened, Shibboully was the planet's universal language.
  Now, for the first time, the two dominant species—bears on the land and sharks in the sea (both known as Shibboullies)—could meet in the capital city of Shibboullyville, where everyone lived, and Shibboully each other all day and all night.
  Unfortunately, these sharks and bears were not the sharpest knives in the cosmic drawer. They had forgotten that the planet they inhabited was under the dominion of the Prince of Darkness, Angel of Death. His mission was to keep them under the illusion they were making progress, when actually they were cycling to nowhere but impending death. His primary strategy was to use the Shibboullies's language to subtly deceive them into believing he didn't really exist and that they were in control of their own destinies.
  The Angel of Darkness knew words were limiting and qualifying, mere symbols and vibrations, and easily got Shibboullies to fall into his trap. In relationships at all levels of bear and shark, he continued to successfully use the limitations of language to create misunderstanding, misconception, and mismanaged expectations. Hence the need for a superhero to arrive, confront these Dark forces and figure out a way to deliver these confused souls back to the paradise they had lost.
  As this allegorical story progresses, the poems become more and more subtle and profound. Capturing the complexity of living in the 21^st century, the poems are humorous, sad, satirical, and enlightening. This book promises to entertain, educate, surprise, and astonish even the most wise and learned among us.
