The oxymoronic title of the pint-sized collection of poems largely ignites the socio-political satire intended by the promising poet. Armed with a simple language couched in metaphorical expressions.

The Sun
Morgan uses his lines to abhor injustice, poverty,lawlessness and ignorance. His poems evoked emotions, sympathy and regret . It is a voice from the clandestine world calling mortals to stand up and face their future, and that no excuses sufficed to remain in deplorable conditions.

Via satiric pieces, the author questions the lack of progress caused by recalcitrance etched in the hearts of those at the helm of affairs. And if you don't agree with his angst rhymes and endless fatalism, you will be subdued by the veracity akin to them.
