Civilization a river that flows between the already culture

Taking a walk admiring nature, the highlands fixed at a steady position of permanent structure, adorned with green reflecting shiny leaves, I smiled with my lips making a little shift to the right side of my mouth. What an EXQUISITE scene!!! The cause must be far better than this.... Who knows?(Eyes rolling). A river was slowly and admirably flowing inbetween two high mountains, a steady gaze was demanded of me as I stood still in amazement, my tickle of smiles cracking my plumpy chin as a relation of the same scene allowed me a flashback. On a bright sunny day I walked down the streets of UNAMED,my twin eyes continuously gazed a collision of a lorrytruck and a cyclist, fatal it is, at my dismay it was the same man that intentionally denied my access to a job interview on the shaky ground that his town brothers, sisters even the teen among them must gain the priviledge prior me, not withstanding I top the list of his four squared white paper. My delimma left me at the outskirt inbetween charity, love and retaliation. My Christlike heart evaporated the past and left me with no avoidable option of rendering a help. At the entrance of the hospitl was hung an enlarged portrait with the picture of a white man's hand firmly giving three KOLANUT(Oji) shade and comfort. I muttered. "probably he is blessing the kolanut with Nna anyi no na eluigwe" a giggle was proundly noticed immediately I finished the sentence. Another added "who knows if the kola is not dumb"( Oji ogbi). Civilisation a river that flows and disintegrates a unified solid culture, Igbo culture not outside the contextual line of my writing. The most basic and fundamental identification of our culture, our language has been botched and left in pieces, each on his own, intellectually pursuing a piece out of the pieces. A vain effort it is!!! "Onye amaro ebe mmiri bidoro mmaba ya amaghi ebe o madebere ya" Diversion of a natural river is left out of the question, but purification of water drawn from a river definitely can be purified. The civilisation has come to stay, the civilised also are there steadily established. My ineffable readers, always sieve, sediment,filtra­te above all chromatography of this river before escaping dehydration is a necessity to our interpersonal relationship and healthy growth both pysically and spiritually

Like a mighty river, civilization is inexorably encroaching on every tribal culture in the world. With the Internet, the process is getting faster, and, perhaps in this century, indigenous cultures will be nothing more than a museum artifacts to be admired for their cultural idiosyncrasies, but not as a way of life.

A very well written and interesting piece, although I did not fully understand everything.
