It‘s not the outer age, It‘s the inner Spirit and Sage That determines superiority. It’s neither youth nor ignorance But lack of humility That determines inferiority. We are not of sand and dust We are spirit and immortal ghost Marching towards eternity. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river

WRONG IS SOMETIMES RIGHT
The right one will come When your education is done. Until then every wrong one Is the right one so you can become The right one When your transformation Is done. Wrong is sometimes right Because it’s what you need right now Some people’s day is the night That’s when they can work and plough Blindness strengthens inner sight You intuit your way through things somehow And a bark is just as useful as a bite. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river

DON’T WASTE TIME
I don‘t waste time. There is no wasted second Or minute or hour in my day. A day with me Is a month with many others Every moment counts everyday. Every thought, word, Every action, emotion, every intuition Everything has a role to play Everybody I meet Has something to return to me Or is someone I must rightly repay. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
GIVING TIME AND SPACE
When someone asks for time and space
Give it to them
They are not necessarily running away from you
They might really just need time and space
To come to terms with the fact of you.
And if they are running away from you
Then there’s no need to want them close to you.
It’s not an insult or an attack
It’s just a chance to find true happiness for both of you
Each in their own way, own time and own space.
