Ranthems - Venom, Intention, Reflection is a book of short stories (lyrical poetry) which was born from the authors personal experiences, as well as social commentary about the world around him focusing on different facets of human nature.  How we treat ourselves and each other became a focal point to a growing collection - Random Anthems (Ranthems) which continue to inspire to this day.   The topics covered range from smoking and our impact on the environment to drugs and our growing intolerance of each other.  Some old fashioned values like respect have faded away in the authors point of view where it seems to be kept alive and embraced only by the minority.   On a personal front, the author takes on issues like loneliness, love found and lost, people who have crossed his path and left their mark and sometimes a mental stain.  Ranthems has been a way for Gaz to resolve such personal issues by writing about them in order to regain the balance in his life.
