Poetry from Chimezie Ihekuna

Chimezie Ihekuna
Life was such a wonder...

I was clueless as I lived the life of a loner
As I moved around to know why life is just that way,
A picture of someone flashed in my memory's rare ray
What was that?
The answer was like paying a VAT!
Moving through the thin and thick of life, 
I realized the picture became clearer as I was navigating the direction of a wife.
The picture was when I met and fell in love with you, George
So, Its with joy I will walk alongside you in the aisle of the church
For you are the very answer to my clueless state
Having you beside me has been my positive fate
No longer a loner...for you are my companion
With you, life is no wonder
For, as champions, we conquer!

Fascinating
Very fascinating we labor so hard only to leave the fruits of it permanently
Very fascinating we are so carried away by the cares of this life that they leave us when we are no more
Very fascinating we pursue our dreams so much that only works out when we are fully asleep
Very fascinating we  so run through pillar and post to make ends meet only to realize how parallel they are
Very fascinating we  so do all in our powers to realize our ambitions only to see the pains manifest throughout our lifetime
Very fascinating we do what society tells us so well only to realize the scars left in us for life
Very fascinating we so live for others only to find out we wasted our years not living 'we'
In all, very fascinating we are so living the life bestowed on us only to have it taken away from us....someday
