DOING IS HARDER

Most of us are weak
Strong only in theory -
To reach the mountain-peak
Is easy in a paper story -
Never underestimate One week
It’s still Seven Days of weary
Struggle through prospects bleak
To attain the crown of glory.

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Poems from the inner river

WALKING THE TALK

I’m alive
When I was dead
The words flowed
Knocking knocking in the coffin

Now I’m alive
They hold their peace
I don’t write my fantasies anymore
I live them now

When I start writing again
Pity me. Mourn, mourn for me.
