Michael M. Kengnjoh
Kindle | Google Books
In this collection, poet Michael Kengnjoh invites the reader to appreciate a world in which the game of power takes central stage. The poems deal with the themes of politics, the economy, the fate of the masses and leaders’ desperate attempts to cling to power. It is a collection that invites humanity to reflect on the fleeting nature of power, the need to liberate both the vulnerable and the powerful, the transitory nature of life, and the alternative possibilities that abound.
Praise for Choking
“Michael Kengnjoh’s Choking tactfully takes us on a life’s journey – from the Himalayas of endless struggles, through the Sahara of abject poverty to the Antarctica of cold fear… It is a collection of beautifully written fifty-three easy-to-read and easy-to-understand poems that serve to liberate, nourish, and guide people’s minds in addressing the multifarious predicaments confronting humanity… for the betterment of the human condition. Kengnjoh’s poetry is, on the one hand, a denouncement and total condemnation of oppression, racism, marginalisation, tyranny, selfishness, exploitation, human rights abuses, brutal killings, and other forms of violence and, on the other hand, a loud cry for humility, mutual respect, understanding and support for peace, unity and love as insurance for collective development and joy.”
