From the Author: "The thoughts portrayed in these poems rose from the dust of my father's kingdom while I was busy reaching for the sky as a boy in my home town in West Africa, and they grew tall with me into adulthood. The landmarks of my experiences over the years till after my Western Education are summed up in loaded words that I have only ever disclosed to myself in moments of soul searching. I have grasped this golden opportunity to share them all here with you fellow beings before they disappear for ever with me into my lonely grave."
The poems in this collection are all mostly based on the author's hopes, aspirations and world-view as forged, shaped and nurtured by the local environment in which he lived and thrived as a boy till adulthood. Most of his experiences are summed up and laid bare in the poems as only he could have put them into words.
These poems of creation, love, hope, dreams and decay all come together to give us a glimpse into the thoughts that rage in the mind of a young man as he struggled to understand the world around him and his own place in the scheme of things.
