    About this ebook

    In this riveting and revolutionary anthology of poems , Ochi offers his personal reflections on a wide array of subjects ranging from globalization and self-awareness to the nature of good and evil in modern societies. Through indelible sonnets and proses, the importance of introspection, moral reasoning and of questioning authority and societal norms to enhance personal growth is revealed to the reader. Black Holes, a lyrical journey through emotions experienced in human life, breaks all barriers of individualism to voice the pain of the unfortunate, it also glorifies the beauty of unconditional love; the language simplicity conveys its message to people from all walks of life.

    Ochi

    Ochi is a Kenyan poet and lyricist with a logical and very clear vision of the world. His poetry, influenced by Rumi and Paolo Coelho writings, transcends national, cultural and religious borders to counter implicit values promoted to blind us from our true worth. The general theme of Ochi's thoughts is essentially that of the concept of moral reasoning; his memorable poems reminds us how we should recognize moral considerations in our daily life and cope with conflicts among them. Readers from all walk of life and schools of thought will relate to his poetry.

      Would it be wrong to proclaim poetry to be the queerest form of literature? If one were to line up every facet of writing that makes up ‘literature’ along the Kinsey scale, surely ‘poetry’ would score quite high, given that so many of its pioneers –

    BLACK HOLES

    By Ochi

    Copyright 2014 Ochi

    Smashwords Edition

    FOREWORD

    At the beginning was the word, poetry came just after;

    From Black holes, planets, moons and suns were brought to life by our masters.

    At speed of light, conscious waves from black stars in our galaxy,

    Travel the globe through optic fibers; we are in the twenty millionth century.

    -Ochi-

    DEDICATIONS

    "I refer to the universal charity, which characterizes our societies, and I refer to the African thought processes and cosmological ideas, which regard men, not as a social means, but as an end and entity in society."

    Tom Mboya

    The ways by which men arrive at knowledge of the celestial things are hardly less wonderful than the nature of these things themselves

    Johannes Kepler
