This book consists of 366 rhymed six-line stanzas, written by Dr. Dahesh in 1980, one stanza every day. The title of this book is the best indication of its content: a sharp sword in that it attempts neither to hide anything nor to flatter anyone. The author lays bare the truth about human life, its miseries, and its futility… He attacks the traitors and tyrants at whose hands he suffered severely. He also declares his support for truth, justice and virtue in an age where moral values have been seriously shaken.
Those who are lovers of sheer truth will find the truth in this book without ornamentation or disguise. In fact, the author is so candid that he gives it the title The Sharp Sword.
