Heartbreak Street
Poetry | Anthology | 3.92k words
AT some point in all our lives, we have all suffered from a heartbreak. That aching burn that we feel in our chests, that very determined lump that clogs our throat, that heaviness in our eyes that herald a stream of tears, that mountain of despair that settles on our shoulders, and for as long as long as we have the capacity to love, heartbreak...See MoreAT some point in all our lives, we have all suffered from a heartbreak. That aching burn that we feel in our chests, that very determined lump that clogs our throat, that heaviness in our eyes that herald a stream of tears, that mountain of despair that settles on our shoulders, and for as long as long as we have the capacity to love, heartbreaks are inevitable.
Heartbreak street is the road all of humanity have passed through and will always go through in our life’s journey. On this road every person has a different story to tell, a different form of grief, and a different kind of heartbreak. And a different reason for our scars,
On this road, some men have felt the sting of a breaking heart once, some multiple times. Some haven’t but are very well on their way there. Yet to be heartbroken, you must have first given your heart.
I myself have felt several forms of heartbreak in my short time on earth, a different reason, a differently shaped scar every time. That is the purpose of this book. To give voice to the stories of men, our thoughts, to shine the light on our darkness and despair,
This book in essence is a comrade letting everyone with a scar know that they aren’t alone. Each page holds a different form of pain, a different scar, a different form of heartbreak. I hope we find solace in the pages to come. Embrace your darkness to find the light.

In this novel he described Nigeria or one part of African culture. A story of an idealistic young man chibueze who was persistent with his choice of marrying a girl from mgbidi( odinaka) even when he doesn't know much about his people's relationship with the mgbidi people. However he knew just a little about the mgbidi people, but he doesn't know that mgbidi was of five different villages which ordinarily they were only forbade from marrying to one of the villages.
Esoteric drum a brilliant and a fascinating work of fiction in which the writer uses one man's relationship with a girl that was presumed not worthy because of her ancestry to depict the temerity of some village elders who were most oblivious of some wrong decision that they took.
The writer showed the relationship between chibueze who was a village boy and later a city young man. And odinaka, an mgbidi/city girl. They used to love each other and want to involved in marriage. When chibueze said about their affairs to his father nwaosu, he didn't approve it because he equally doesn't know much about their relationship with the mgbidi people. All he knows was that they don't marry from there.
The novel's sense of conflict is signalled by it title from which it comes from. However, it shouldn't be understood literally. It's a metaphor for the fact that the mysteries behind cultures are best understood by those who are ordained into it.
Maybe the hardest part is if you teach, you have to live your teaching. You have to do your best to live what you teach. I have this photo in our living room, right on the one corner of the walls. This photo reminds me of my father's principle of integrity and how he shows it out and inside his daily life. It's a family photo taken when my Dad felt it's wise to have a picture with his family, in the photo there was my Dad starring angrily at me , perhaps I was not in the right posture and that was disgusting. So, whenever I'm obliged to do something I take that photo and look at it, and whenever I look at it there is that sense of recalcitrance in me at that time that my father was trying so hard to put right. You know what's right ,just do right. You don't really have to ask anybody,but the truth is right may not be expedient ,it may not be profitable,but it will satisfy your soul. It brings you the kind of protection that bodyguard will give you; try to be that in your working place , in your office , try to be that in your village, with your kinsmen. Don it because it's right to do it.
