    About this ebook

    A collection of Poetry on various issues and subjects current to the world of Twenty-Ten. The title was inspired partly by a movie made in the 1980's called "2010". In the real 2010, we are not sending astronauts to Jupiter to confront Monoliths, rather we are confronting the problems and issues created by our own technology. The most lethal creatures in the Solar system are...us. These writes deal with environmental, political and even whimsical issues floating about in this year of Twenty-Ten.
