A TRIBUTE TO A PEN WARRIOR...

When things are no longer at ease, even for the ants of the anthill at the sahara, there is a very high tendency that things will surely fall apart and of course the center actually will not hold.
The unquestionable literary prowess and the originality of the story telling ability of Chinua Achebe has undoubtedly earned him a place in the hall of fame in our hearts. A gentle and wise man that had rage in his mind, but only showed it through words, courting values, being an exemplary model not only to up-coming writers, but also to youths that express volatility at any instance of anger. Though justified to be angry, but not to hold the city to ransom with violence.
A great pride for Africa who wrote a fantastic book that has been translated to over fifty languages, and yet he did not let it get to his head, that is a rare feat indeed.
Funny, there are many Chinua Achebes out there, if you have a lot of anger brewing in your mind and you do not want to create violence, rather you seek constructive ways to pass your grievances across, then you have a fraction of him within you. Please don't let it die, share your pains with the wise, then write them down in anyway you can so far you allay them passionately unto the hearts of men.
The death of an old and wise man is like a burning library.
