The article presents a detailed analysis of several poems from this anthology, which cover themes such as love, marriage, immorality, bribery, corruption, inhumane practices, technological influence, and life. It also presents how man has gone out of the range of humanity and very easily progresses towards evil, which kills man and destroys the entire social, human, moral, and religious setting of the world. The anthology also presents man's cruelty. The poet peeps into the world through the poems in this collection.
