Possibilities of joy are ruined by probabilities of sorrow Today will annoy the hell out of the peace of tomorrow Stay simple Don’t believe the hype A tiny ripple won’t burst your pipe if you don’t turn it into a big wave - Worry is deceptive, don’t be its slave. Be simple in expectation Be simple in perception Be simple in deliberation Be simple in expression. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river

THE FINAL IMPRESSION
The last picture we have of a person determines what we continue to think about that person; and yet that person might have changed the very next day after the last time we saw them.
But for years and decades after that we continue to hold this picture and this opinion about the person.
And should our paths ever cross again we usually begin to relate again to that person and that opinion and that picture and that character that was the one we last experienced and remember.
So, we end up talking to a ghost and missing the real person right there in front of us.

Undulating Plains
ZUG NACH VORN
Grauer Morgen Trauer, Sorgen, ziehen ihre Flusswege schwermütig und träge Die Brücke ist aber breiter Das Herz fährt weiter hoffnungsvoll und heiter. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
ONCE YOU TASTE TRUE LOVE
Once you taste true love Lust becomes a mechanical chore Pleasure is no longer enough You want something more. You learn to recognise the grain And separate it from the chaff - You want to feel that joy again You want your heart to laugh. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
SCHMERZ UND VERZEIHUNG
Verzeihung - Ich bitte nicht um sie Ich biete sie Dir an Verzeihung. Rache nie. Auch wenn es weh tut Vor allem wenn es weh tut Denn wenn es nicht weh tut Braucht es keine Verzeihung Ist es keine Verzeihung Fühlt es sich leer an. Verzeihung Weil es weh tut Verzeihung. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
FREE
Free me Let me Be me Let me Be free Set me Free. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
LICHTGEDICHT
Das Licht hat Gewicht ist schlicht ist Gericht ist ein Gedicht. Es ist Einsicht die einbricht. Hab in der Nacht nachgedacht und sah das Licht. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
LOOKING EVERYWHERE
When people find what they are looking for They find it’s not what they are looking for And then they begin to look for Clarity about what they are really looking for. And they look for clarity everywhere, In everything, in every way, they dare Every adventure, no matter how rare, Every experience that might get them there. Because the possession of clarity About one’s path and identity Is the actual meaning of true life-quality And the paramount shaper of reality. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
FANG AN
Anfang ist Ende - Mitte ist Wendepunkt - Beendet weil es begann - Verändert während es zerrann - Was Du nicht beenden willst fang nicht erst an - Aber was Du nicht bereuen willst lass nicht ungetan. Fang einfach an mit Deinem Schicksal; Alles andere ist eh und wirklich egal. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Im Jahrzehnt der deutschen Dichtung
THE EARTH SCHOOL
There are some people Who just don’t deserve good people, Yet good people will be meet them Because they’re a part of the system; There’s nothing you can do about that. As long as you walk this earth, You deserve every experience you get; You signed up for it before birth And now you have to run the gauntlet - There’s nothing you can do about that. Welcome to the school of maturing, Of pain, temptation, of debt incurring - But you CAN conquer after long enduring. Now I don’t know if you find this reassuring, But there’s nothing you can do about that. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
