We are everyday people who bump and slide, limp and glide around each other with the cordiality and aloofness of eight-plus billion who must function as one for the survival of civilization and all that is found in nature--an ever-shrinking planet. Behind our smiles are the blessings of family, friends, success and rewards. We achieve and endure and make a good fortune. Amid all the happenings also lurks the adversaries of self-sacrifice, oppression, repression, dispossession, and the labors of living. But here we are, managing a smile there, too! We are famous in our anonymity, yet conspicuous in our notoriety. Bitter Wears a Smile - Of Nature and of Man offers a great variety of formats and scenarios, in poems and literary devices, that are examples of such. Because we are making it, baby! Come hell or high water!
