Publisher's Synopsis
Rhythm of Conscience - Ambassadors of Corruption and Poverty is a book that tries to expose all the malaise and malfeasance that plague societies which impede their progress and stunt their growth because of greed, poverty mentality, corruption, love of power, selfishness etc. From its contents, the reader discovers that whereas developed countries are experiencing quantum leap in scientific and technological advancement of magical proportions due to patriotism, transparency, accountability and hard work, African countries are busy killing their economies, development opportunities and stifling their education system thus putting Africa on a backward march to dark ages. The book tries to x-ray the future of the African continent vis-a-vis their self-serving leaders and cronies who feel contented as they luxuriate in corruption, impunity and debauchery thus creating mass poverty, hunger, social decay, anger, violence, inefficiency, low productivity and unemployment. Conversely their counterparts in other climes are pushing forward to new heights, expanding beyond the frontiers of scientific and technological knowledge and making amazing breakthroughs in research in order to ensure the happiness of their citizens while African leaders specialize in looting their nations' patrimony. The book also deals with urgent and contemporary issues that are of daily concern to every man, woman and child all over the world such as HIV/AIDS. The book contains nearly one hundred poems on diverse subject matters and is divided into ten sections namely: "Corruption"; "Lamentations"; "Reflections"; "Hard Times"; "Fate In Our Hands"; "Joy And Sorrow"; "Playing Parents"; "The Pandemic HIV/AIDS"; "Love And Marriage"; "Tributes." The Author laments that law courts, long terms of imprisonment and the use of force have neither abated nor stopped corruption and thus feel that a paradigm shift is necessary to win the war against corruption. Rhythm of conscience was deliberately designed and articulated to lay the pioneering foundation for the psychological conditioning and sustained re-orientation of the minds of both the masses and their leaders so as to re-unite them with their lost consciences once again. The book therefore is a doctrinal change agent targeting the psyche of readers with the hope that it will ultimately and positively impact on the head, the heart and the mind of every reader in such a way that the evil of corruption will be tamed, reduced or completely eliminated from the reader's thought process."
