Trumpeting in the Wilds

<p>Trumpeting in the Wilds is a collection of poems written by a consummate poet who conveniently set his environment as the locale. Essentially the poems caricature the political shenanigans and misgovernance by African despotic rulers with particular reference to Nigeria.<br />He juxtaposes this gloomy scenario with what filliping the law can do in this Golgotha against the backdrop of his experience as a lawyer. His conclusion is that the whims and caprices of these selfish rulers have truncated the rule of law.<br />The poet relaxes the grim mood with invocation of profundity of passion through celebration of love with his love poems.<br />Consequently despite the panorama of myriad troubles and intermittent pleasure he concludes that man’s journey leads but to the grave as exemplified by his solemn dirges.</p>
