Sic Transit Gloria Mundi: Thus Passes the Glory of the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781734440911)

In Sic Transit Gloria Mundi, Beukes sets the sights of his moral compass straight at the corrupted systems and institutions that control the global levers of power. His poems pour out with laments that decry the injustices perpetrated against everyday citizens by governments, financial oligarchs, big tech monopolies, and military adventurists who have upturned modern civilization through their craven lust for complete dominance over the earth's terrain as well as in the minds of its people. In other selections, Beukes journeys into the spiritual realm, pondering about God, exploring the meaning of faith, spiraling with the DNA of generations past, and tuning into the echo communicated by lost loved ones that reverberates back beyond the veil to comfort those who carry on in memory of their cherished legacies. Throughout the pages of this collection, no matter the daunting nature of the problems detailed, there remains a persistent will to shine ever brighter despite the dark forces that seek to dampen the spirit of humanity and its collective destiny of awakened ascension. - Scott Thomas Outlar, author of Abstract Visions of Light and Of Sand and Sugar
