Lost in the detail the news box jumps into shudders of frenzy Erratic loose bumps unarmed with spiritual context. Mind humps matter mechanically repeatedly aggressively exhaustingly inconclusively Algorithmically lumps worldly with worldly opaquely in ever thickening clumps while scrolling thoughtfully a nervous heart unsatisfactorily seekingly nervously thumps. Che Chidi Chukwumerije Poems from the inner river
news
HATRED HAS MANY BELIEVERS
Watch that hatred bang
Its head on the wall
Watch it struggle against a bridge
Over a gorge, dig a hole and fall
Hear it, baffled, ponder into the night.
The middle is thinning out into left and right
I know you don’t believe in the light
Because it’s hard to believe in something
You don’t understand –
It’s safer to hate in numbers
For the logic of hatred is easy to comprehend
Only a few will be left standing
After love has conquered the land.
Tread soft, haters, you’re walking on quicksand.
– Che Chidi Chukwumerije.
