It's Only Words
Most of us can hum, whistle, or tap out a favourite tune but not too many of us can recall the lyrics, the words. Yet it is the skill of the wordsmith, the lyricist who at the stroke of a pen can transport us, if only for a moment, into our own world recalling cathartic events, romantic moments and nostalgic longings for times gone by. In just a few short strokes of his pen the skilled lyricist can move us to tears or anger or is able to stimulate pride or joy.
Popular music is at an all-time high and I would defy anyone reading this book not to be able to find a song that they could not identify with or indeed have been emotionally associated with at some point in their formative years or indeed in their twilight years!
During the writing of this book, I admit to many moments, good and bad, when the words of skilled lyricists left their songs stimulating incidents and memories long since relegated to the back of my mind!

Echoes of Revolution
Within the intricate narrative woven in The God on Earth, an enchanting tale unfurls, beckoning us into the very core of ‘The Echo of Revolution.’ This immersive journey delves into the profound and enduring struggles of impoverished and marginalized minorities, resonating deeply in the context of the modern era. Whether bound by the identity of a Kurd or entangled in the intricacies of a minority religion, such as Baháʼí, life within these communities mirrors a profound form of human bondage.
In the realm of ‘God on Earth,’ neither the reigning monarch nor the subsequent ruler, the Engle, could extend a helping hand to the little girl, Sara and her beleaguered family. To compound their challenges, a Baháʼí girl named ‘Iran’, was born one frosty night in an apple garden, initially bringing a glimmer of joy to young Sara. However, this fleeting happiness soon waned in the grasp of uncontrollable rioting.
Against the ever-shifting tableau of political leadership, revolutions unfold like chapters, yet their transformative power falters in reshaping the destinies of these minorities. Whether dictated by religious beliefs or linguistic nuances, Sara and Iran’s parents grapple with enduring discrimination, navigating a relentless status quo that persists despite the tumultuous winds of political change. Finally, who can save Sara and her little adopted sister, Iran?
