🐔 The Dead Chicken Theory
The Art of Misdirection

Have you ever wondered why, when something serious happens, people suddenly cause a scene about something else?

That is what the Dead Chicken Theory is all about.

It comes from an old story about a village healer who would wave a dead chicken while chanting to cure sickness. Of course, the chicken did not heal anyone, but the drama distracted the villagers long enough for time and belief to do the rest.

In psychology, this represents misdirection. It means doing something loud, emotional, or dramatic to draw attention away from what truly matters.

Politicians do it.
Leaders do it.
Even we sometimes do it, starting arguments, stirring emotions, or making sudden moves just to shift focus when things get uncomfortable.

The Dead Chicken Theory reminds us of one thing:
👉 People often believe the most visible action, not the most effective one.

So the next time someone waves a dead chicken in front of you, a distraction, a controversy, or a sudden show, pause and look deeper.
Ask yourself, what are they trying to make me not see?

Awareness is the cure. 🧠

Shadows scream

Wings cut, feathers plucked,
Dreams botched,
Feet stuck on hollow grounds,
Where silence screams and time corrupts.

Shadows crawl, the air grows thin,
Hope is lost, consumed within.
The sky above, a distant lie,
Beneath it, broken souls still try.

No light to chase, no stars to find,
Only echoes of a fractured mind.
A fading breath, a final sound,
Wings cut, feathers plucked, earthbound.

NO ONE: A COLLECTION OF POEMS 22/04/2024

NO ONE by Chinonso Samuel Onyebuenyi is a collection of poems that examines the "entangled" nature of love which makes it quite difficult to fully encapsulate the meaning of love, the fondness and the human experiences. The collection blends pain, joy and retrospection to convey the irreplaceability of love once felt.
