Answer:
The different uses and perspectives around books, and the power they have in our future.
Explanation:
This poem by Celo Kulagoe, published in "Some modern poetry from the Solomon Islands" (1975) describes the way the Teacher, the Preacher, and the Dealer introduce her to books, and how the way she chooses to approach them might have a great impact on what the future hold for her.
For example, the preacher says to "follow this narrow trail," which might represent the limited scope of religion on knowledge and science, something that the author seems to want to avoid, as she longs for the wisdom provided by books.
