This Book of Poems offers a profound exploration of leadership in Africa; weaving through the continent's complex history with a focus on its earlier Kings and liberation leaders. It begins by addressing the harrowing impact of slavery and the valiant struggles against colonial powers to achieve independence. The narrative then shifts to the era of imperialism and the mixed blessings of globalization, which often did not align with the best interests of African people. It casts a critical eye on the consequences of poor governance and corruption, where leaders have exploited these resources for personal gain, to the detriment of their citizens. The poems poignantly depict the endemic poverty across many African nations, exacerbated by states' failure to provide basic social services, driving the youth towards terrorism as a means of survival. The collection underscores the necessity of effective leadership and governance for the prosperity of Africa's people. While it honors the leaders who fought for liberation, it also acknowledges their post-independence failings, including economic mismanagement, autocratic rule, and human rights violations. Ultimately, the book encourages reflection on the positive aspects of these leaders' legacies, urging the youth to learn from past mistakes and foster a brighter future for the continent.
