A young writer may very well keep quiet on many things, but never a subject of immense importance such as the Nigerian graduates and the future that awaits them. A writer that closes his heart to this may as well not be considered a writer, after all, if anything is worth a writer sympathy it will be the hope and redemption of his country which, in the case of the Giants of Africa, is being shouldered on his fresh educated young minds: the Nigerian graduates.

TEMPTATION

She came in the light of the night,

Guided by passion and lust.

With eyes buried under the shades of glass,

And steps muted by glistening floors.
