The Voice, by Mark Tulin

 
From the muddy trenches came a voice. It spoke to vulnerable people who foolishly believed. The voice said not to listen to those of science, instead, follow the incendiary words of the voice. So the group refused to comply with the rest of the world, and especially to those with knowledge and understanding. The voice hated wisdom and those who predicted the future. Much animosity grew against the teachers of change, despite the world’s precarious nature. Soon a cult formed. They grew in numbers, wore similar clothing, shaved their heads, and saluted a strange symbol that hung over a fire.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.
