Elegy for the Earth: Poems

Description

"The earth is in jeopardy and the survival of the human race is left dangling, like a pendulum. The earth is naked and susceptible to natural and man-made disasters, yet man has continued to clothe her in pollutions, desertification, corruption, moral decadence and criminality. Do we have another home outside of the earth? What becomes of our reality when the earth succumbs to our perilous whims? Zakari Sule Musa becomes the conscience and messenger of the earth as he prods the environmental question. The poet decries man's inhumanity to his home and also raises an elegy for the early demise of his home. unlike many elegies, Elegy for the Earth charges us to save the earth as the bell of doom dings."--Page 4 of cover.
