The Loudest Voices of Discouragement
A Write-up by Sandra Chukwudumebi Obiora ©

Sometimes, the loudest voices of derogation, or the most demotivating of expressions do not come from without, but from within. Continue reading The Loudest Voices of Discouragement

In Twenty Days
“In twenty days, the crowded Earth became as empty as Mars.
In this time, the moon became blood, and the sand became red.
For the one I knew so well, became the one I know no more.
The thoughts I used to daily think, are now the thoughts I think no more.
The feelings I used to dwell on, are now the things I feel no more.
The plans we then did make, are plans I have no more.
For in just twenty days, the population of earth was traded for the wild storms of Mars.
The false comfort of ‘friendship’ turned into the
Magnificent brilliance and hum of a truly silent planet.”

Ego My Dear
Many are the mental struggles of mankind.
Daily we fight wars for and against our fragile egos.
For if we will just accept that we feel what we feel, and we feel it how we feel it,
without first putting up an act or pretense,
We can therefore begin the game of loose and keep.
We can then dispose of that we must dispose of, and build on that which must be built.
We can then correct that which needs be corrected,
and discard that silly thing called ego and pride.
Life Stages
~ Poem by Sandra C. Obiora (28.05.2018) ~
Today, I wished dearly for time to pause.
I yearned earnestly for just this cause.
That I may simply hold onto this quickly passing moment.
If only to make it slower, to grab a hold of it and shout, Pause!
