Children are united
By childhood
Adults divided
By their adulthood
Too smart is the mind
That sees division
The spirit is inclined
To strive for union.

TRANSITION
What is adulthood
But childhood lost?
Shopping for arrival
But at what cost?
Goodbye because I want
Welcome because I must
Morning to ashes
Laughter to dust.
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
INTELLECT
Much praised –
Who raised
You up?
And what do you really see?
What do you know?
Where Intuition sees
A thousand lies
Intellect has the tools
To fashion them into one
Uncomfortable hard truth.
Verily, some hearts
Have no mouths
And some mouths
Have no heart.
– CHE CHIDI CHUKWUMERIJE.
