Awake in the Game of Pretending
This is the second edition of the Awake in the Game of Pretending. Though it is a heavily edited version of the previous collection of poems of the same title and is a much shorter version, it explores the same essence of the first version (originally published in 2015 by FriesenPress) in that it continues to be a collection of poems prompting us to ask who is pretending and remaining open to the The one who is awake. The first version is out of stock.

At times there we're poems that I couldn't take seriously, such as Candy Cane or the ONCE UPON NO TIME, I mean half of it was with the word You, for an instant I felt like I was conversing with a Chinese laundry lady in New York.
But there are other creative innuendoes in the rest of the book, the Poem T:
"she knows that you suffered, beloved, because you forgot you we're stardust"
The author ponited at the fact that T is a believer who forgot the truth of the cosmic reality of things, clever.
It Is What It Is
"These chains are more peaceful than your chains" while they beat each other to a pulp.
The religious conforntation at a simple metaphore, for to some, Religion is confinement,
Clever.
It's upside down and royally sucks
"And you stand here, a Dear in the headlights, wondering where's the love? "
I can't help but to hear the echoes of the song Rabbit In Your Headlights by Them York while reading this.
I like
Love is PINK FLOYD'S COMFORTABLY NUMB ON REPEAT Y'ALL!
As a Pink Floyd ULTRA fan; That line alone.deserved a star.
In overall, Nejoud at times tried to show the reader what's inside her mind, the liberation of mind from the traditional ancient thinking can be a beautiful sensation rather than pure feeling of abandoned in the desert awaiting the guillotine in hell
We are Stardust made of Billions and Billions of stars in the galaxy.
We'll done
