In the House of Dogs

Image
  In the House of Dogs The most pathetic state of the intellectually insecure is that they don't have the intellect to know that they are intellectually insecure. Imagine Aristotle finding himself in the midst of clones of cave men and women who cannot even read and he knows since they have not read his "Poetics", he has to bend backwards to communicate with them. How can you discuss the essence of the romance of human existence with someone who is clueless about Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Soyinka? Irrationality is the evidence of stupidity. There is illiteracy and there is intellectual illiteracy or intellectual ignorance. The most dangerous of homo sapiens are the humans without conscience and without shame. And they are the most common among Africans in Africa who even claim they went to school, but are not different from those who didn't go to school. And they are the most corrupt in Nigeria and the rest of Africa with their accomplices who are their benef...

Soliloquy of My Stream of Consciousness

Image
SOLILOQUY OF MY STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS I thank Almighty God I have become the kind of writer I want to be; like the masters whose books have been my companions - from antiquity to the Romantic Age poets.  I have introduced Igbo poetic form into modern English poetry even as I have composed the longest poem in haiku by an African poet. I have become the kind of poet I want to become. The film production of "Naked Beauty" screenplay coauthored by the great Chika Christian Onu, PhD and I, has been delayed, because I actually prefer to direct it myself. The nuances of the Uri art in the storytelling of the poetry of the beauty of OMA as illustrated in body art by Tonye and the depictions of the thoughts  of OMA's erotic passion in cinematic surrealism will be awesome in motion picture. I want to turn it into a romantic adventure of a National Geographic photographer in the Niger Delta of Nigeria,. And the photographs of the Uri body art on OMA will be published and...

I See What Ordinary Eyes Cannot See

Image
I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. I see islands in the clouds I see cities in the skies. I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. I see the cherubs as they fly and sway. I see the celestial driveway in the Milky Way. I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. I do not see you through the eyes of your world. I see you through the eyes of my God. I see what ordinary eyes cannot see. - EKENYERENGOZI Michael Chima. From "In the Eyes of God", the new collection of my original poems to be released soon. https://www.amazon.com/author/ekenyerengozimichaelchima .
