The poems in this book address different themes. Some address themes relating to human existence and limitations as well as socio-emotional conflicts associated with humankind. Others address such social issues as poverty, misery and despondency, the power of love and the despair of betrayal, as well as negligence and inaction by political actors of citizens' sufferings. In particular, through the 'verbiage of the ancestors, ' the poet admonishes society for its ills. He praises where praise is due, urges the reader to reflect somberly on the society's misdeeds, and strengthens the reader where necessary. Also, the poet addresses the paradox of war and aggression, the consequences of warfare, and the need not to hate even during times of war and conflict. He 'laments' about people holding back what they ought to give freely to society and calls on citizens of the world to address the need to work for the good of society. Finally, the poet sees forgiveness as the mainstay for social harmony and warns that vindictiveness can threaten our very existence on this planet.
