Before the Mirror Mike O Nwangwa

Mirrors are very beneficial. Standing before a mirror is not new to you, I believe. We use the mirror because we want change. We want the mirror to show us our flaws: the part of our dressing that needs to be corrected, that unbuttoned shirt, uncombed hair, not-too-bright eyes etc. The mirror points to our flaws in order for us to take care of it. Afterwards, we emerge to the public as confident, happy people. This book is intended to work like a mirror. Infact it is one! What you are about to explore is a compendium of some of my favorite poems, written over time. They are an expression of my heart, covering different issues of life. You will come across serious truths presented with a blend of humor, sarcasm, inspiration and wittiness. They are written in modern day language so many of us can follow. Besides, as you read, you'll find yourself identifying with several characters in the poems. I hope this book blesses you. Reading this book will be fun I promise you. Just remember, it works like a mirror. It can only show you your flaws, but won't do anything to correct them. You are responsible for the necessary change in your life. I challenge you to do something about the imperfections you will notice as you stand...before the mirror.
