This is a substantial collection of some ninety poems from the
early sixties to the present day. Versions of many of them have
previously appeared in anthologies and journals such as Okike: an
African Journal of New Writing, FESTAC, and Black Orpheus. Eguda
speaks about and on behalf of the dispossessed, and embraces themes
such as silence and silent protest in politics, the lost art of
traditional living, unfair social advanatage and the rule of power
against justice and human rights. The title poem is a plea to the
god of (good) governance for the disarmament of corruption - those
who 'crucify services on civil crosses' - and for the empowerment
of those who protest.
