Hidden Treasures of the Heart
From the author of Juggle the Dice and Panorama. An overwhelming narrative about sibling rivalry and its negative effects on an otherwise exciting childhood. Set in a typical African home with a rich cultural heritage, yet infested with third world challenges of poverty, war and deprivation, Adaku battles with overcoming self imposed misery and transcending perceived barriers, limiting her from deploying and appreciating the hidden treasures of her heart.
Juggle the Dice
Life remains a mystery and whatever action we undertake in life is a risk. Just like the act of juggling a dice, one never knows what number will be thrown up. As we carry on with the game of life, we play by whatever number emerges and try our very best to make the most of the opportunities presented to us. Man is created to be different and no one man is the same as another. Each being remains special and with peculiar features crafted by the Master chess player, God. He is the creator and holds the aces just like in the game of chess. A lot of times things do not turn out the way we have planned or expected it, just as in the stories I have told here but we keep going on until the race is over. Each story has its own peculiar characters or actors playing on the stage called life. The outcome of their situation is largely dependant on their ability to take full advantage of the chances thrown their way which is determined by forces way beyond their control.
Panorama
These poems are about Love, Life and Living. The world is seen as a beautiful, complex and diverse place. These poems provide a picturesque view of the world. Love is beautiful when the going is good and terrible when it goes bad, leading to heartaches, nervous breakdown and sometimes even death. It can make or mare a man and has been the reason for the downfall of some notable successful men. Life is mysterious. Full of ups and down and has different stages which I prefer to call part 1, part 2 and for some people, part 3. The only constant thing in life is change and as each day comes with its own peculiarities, we device ways of dealing with the situation, one day at a time. Living is what we are here to do. Man was created to live and the world was made for man to inhabit. Unfortunately, man's inability to adequately appreciate, preserve and utilise the huge resources made available for his use, has been the bane of many societies especially the one in which I was born.
