Sometimes not saying anything is the best answer, for silence can never be misquoted.

A great family consists of a father who is a hard nut to crack, a mother who is a hard nut to chew and children who are hard nuts to swallow. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

Life didn’t give me answers, but it offered enough silences to make me a poet.

As bad as it is, it is better for the growing awareness. Maybe from the awakening, the pen mightier than the sword, us priests of poetry, the rarefied hearts of humanity, can make a positive contribution.

It’s like buying a classic car that’s clocked half a million miles. Still polished, sounds sweet when you start it up, but push it too hard and the engine just can’t take the strain. Looks might still turn heads, but under the bonnet, the wear and tear tells a different story.

Words are like swords, they can cut deeply.

You can probably call me anything you want, I won't answer to anything normally, anyway... I'm still Infantile.

If it is not thine to give, then it is not thine to take. If the power you seek is not used for good, then the power need not be given.
If life is not what you need and death is not the answer, then go forth and not be.

There is no question nor answer, that does not, somehow, someway, begin and end with us. We are our environment. If desiring a permanent, positive change, it cannot come about by saving our climate nor manipulating our politics. No Second Coming, before the first -- self! Change the way our hearts think, and then the earth will become a pure blossom in the Heaven of Eternity.

“But my brain is so hollow, and Death is like a swallow, fluttering around its little nest that is me. Through my brain, through my reality.”

No truth is harder to swallow when it contradicts its noblest values. Be the upholder of truth: it's your pledge of integrity,

Politicians can never truthfully answer when questioned, for a simple yes or no is simply out of the question.

Would it worry you, if your thoughts could be seen, if your answer is yes, then your thinking the wrong things.

Often the poet declaring too much. We are tempters, sweets and wine -- allow the reader to go deeper, passing the rein to his core of our rhyme.

There will always be people for whom (no matter how sweet the blessings), the cup is half empty. For these chronic pessimists, I say try the power of two P-words: first and foremost; prayer, and secondly; positive thinking. Focus on the blessings God has given, and even though the cup may not be running over, give thanks for the portion that is half full. Things could always be worse!

When you join the “lost your mother” club, other members do not congratulate you, but tell their own sad tale, swaddling you in their cocooned tears.

Sometimes, when words fail, all you need to say is "Thank you, Jesus!" Just express gratitude for what He has done and anticipate His future favors! Offer thanks for your prayers, even before they're answered!
