Walk My Song

I don't call myself a poet but my interest in writing began with poetry when I was in high school and then university. Poetry is one form of communication by which we express our thoughts, observations, feelings, emotions and views about the world around us, our interactions and the issues affecting the society or us as human beings. When we become silent, passive, conniving or collaborative in all forms of vileness such as vice, dishonesty, fraudulence, venality and so forth, it is just as good as us swimming in a pool of contaminated water. We must restrain ourselves from getting involved in any form of vileness and make sure that our countrymen and women, including our children, are not getting infected by it. This is the direction of most of the pieces in this collection and they are aimed at educating both old and young Papua New Guineans to become patriotic about their motherland by being conscious of the evils affecting our country so they can play their part in building a prosperous and progressive nation.
