Bottled Silence : Lighthouse Books : 9781950320394 : 1950320391 : 17 May 2023 : In this assemblage of poems and a pictorial of the times, the poet paints a grim picture of a "battered broken world" forced into tyranny by rulers camouflaged as leaders that "men recline in cushions letting out stretched air burying passed down batons with future in despair". Bottled Silence addresses social injustice, inequality, lack of leadership and total catastrophic decay of days. Contemporary nations may fail and fall into oblivion as this author relates back with his home country, Nigeria where he sees waste spree of a stupendously blessed nation, and wonders, "at this rocky time, incessantly unpleasant are: spits from rowdy orifices which makes this game so sour".
