It is safe to be here. Now. It is comfortable to be here. Now.
It is pleasant to be here. Now. It is appealing to be here. Now.
Here, you do not have a Putin breathing down your neck. Or annexing your territory. Or questioning your association.
Here, you are free to express your inner most thoughts without looking over your shoulders.
With the quiet note of the flute playing in the background, accompanying each stroke of your key, you are free, and completely enveloped by the sound of soothing music and oblivion of the madness unveiling on the other side of here.
Here, is a place that is free and devoid of political turmoil, oil spillage,
school shooting and school looting,
suicide and suicide note,
royal wedding and royal divorce,
football fans and football fanatics,
poverty and wants,
remorsefulness and regrets,
drugs and addiction,
double standards and low standards,
This is a safe place to be. The Poetry Marathon platform is a sane place, a safe place, a place to place my plate, a place to place my plait, a place to place my, never mind.
Rarzack Olaegbe is here now.
As he was in 2020. As he was in 2021. That makes it the Trinity.
A journalist with a vested interest in financial technology or fintech, as it is widely known. Used to publish an internationally circulated niche magazine for the fintech ecosystem. Run a syndicated weekly column in four platforms. A communication advisor to some fintech firms. TEDx curator. And still searching for more. Always curious. Always learning.
Always optimistic.
Always realistic.
Not fanatic.
Writing is a tool of expression. Because there are always stories to tell. If not about fintech firms and the ecosystem. It is about online banking platforms. Or fintech unicorns. Or would-be unicorns. Or venture capitalists. Or angel investors. Or cyber fraud. Or fintech brands. Or generating content for interested clients. Or persons. Or platforms. Or Poetry Marathon.
It is a privilege to be here. And now. I feel safe. In the comfort of this eminent group of renowned poets.
Ever learning.
Ever will be.
Because You inspire me.
