While some of the poems deal with the loss of traditional African socio-cultural values to the colonial era, many of them also highlight the fact that in many ways, Africa’s problem are so unique that they can be effectively solved only by Africans themselves. There is also the issue of hypocrisy in the global community when it comes to tackling the problems of Africa - most times, these helps come with conditions that end up impoverishing Africa the more. The collection also makes a statement on how the world would be a better place if Blacks and Whites can understand each other better and come under one umbrella of love and mutual respect.
