    About this ebook

    The Blueprint of Being poetically bears witness to the real, the natural and the truth of being. Employing historical and contemporary social conditions, the book polemically gives in poking a clear defense of the authentic and compelling nature of the real. Without having to layout specific modality as to how it ought to look or which form to take, it brings out the universal and unequivocal features of truth giving the reader thereby the opportunity to discern.
    The author, holder of Masters Degree, having studied and lived in Germany for eighteen years stays currently in Ethiopia. Drawing upon this multicultural educational life exposure; and a two year stay in prison, the author colorfully satirizes, the political and social givens of the contemporary world pointing clearly how much the natural to being human beings is yearned for.
    The author thus captures the readers mind from one poem to the next in a critical tone alluding to the real which often times runs parallel to various themes in many a situation.
