Chinedu Dike Quotes
Lust is a savage desire: an ugly reflection of nature devoid of contentment.
Lust is a bad dream in the forlorn bed of infatuation.
Withdrawals are the karmic outcomes initiated by an upswing in the body's tolerance to hard drugs: galling side effects that rise and subside subject to drug levels in the system.
On the faith mission to fulfill a divine goal, Religion is torn between good and evil. Slaying from age to age in the name of God, hands of zealots are left defiled with blood.
A close look at religious democides suggests jamborees of genocides — bloodlettings from which Atheism recoils in its realm of ungodliness.

The Best Poem Of Chinedu Dike
Mandela - The Immortal Icon
The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:
'[I]t is an ideal for which I am prepared to die! ' Silence -
Pregnant with dreadful menace in court ensued.
A beast of burden consequent of unshakeable stance.
In the slammer Symbol Of The Struggle he attained;
But Apartheid demon persisted in its Treachery.
'Coalition Of Conscience' inspired outcry for Liberty;
Plagues of sanctions shatter manacles of Slavery.
Looming on the horizon - a sight of Equality.
From abyss of darkness emerged the Institution;
The Immortal Icon and mastermind of Rainbow Nation.
NOTES
This compact synopsis of Dr Nelson Madiba Mandela is a story about his journey from The Rivonia Trial (where he was charged with Treason: an offence carrying the death penalty by Hanging) to Freedom and Democracy.
He was after much... sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour.
The piece is a poetic portrait of the cosmopolitan statesman, whose enigmatic radiance of love was tested far beyond the experience flesh has to endure.
It is a soulful tale about the great icon of peaceful resistance, whom upon his release from prison after serving for 27 years, was overwhelmingly elected as the first President of a democratic South Africa.
May his wonderful and gentle soul continue to rest in the Bosom Of Almighty God.
Mzansi is another name for South Africa - an affectionate name.
