IGNORANCE DESTROYED AFRICA

IGNORANCE
LISTEN TO ME, PLEASE
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU
TAKE MY WORD SERIOUSLY
I BLAME YOU FOR ALL
THAT HAPPENED TO AFRICA
YOU DESTROYED OUR CONTINENT

YOU ARE THE CULPRIT BEHIND THIS MESS
I KILL YOU WHEREVER I SEE YOU
YOU PRODUCED BAD LEADERS
THEY PERFORMED SO UNIMPRESSIVELY
POOR ECONOMY BECAME THE RESULT

BECAUSE OF THEIR LOYALTY TO YOU
ARROGANCE DOMINATED THEIR MOVES
YOU SHARE THE SAME BED WITH THEM
IN YOUR UNHOLY UNION WITH THEM
YOU BREED DIVISIONS AND CIVIL STRIFE
NURTURE THE NEWBORN WITH FOREIGN DONATIONS
YOU MADE US SUFFER FROM DEPENDENCY SYNDROME

IGNORANCE
LISTEN TO ME, PLEASE
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU
TAKE MY WORD SERIOUSLY
I BLAME YOU FOR ALL
THAT HAPPENED TO AFRICA
YOU DESTROYED OUR CONTINENT

My dear friend, I hear you and scream with you. Ignorance is destroying us all. It is the greatest weapon in the evil ones arsenal.God does not have to punish man. He punishes himself by the destruction of paradise in the forms of trees, nature,continents and other men. PEACE AND BLESSINGS MY BROTHER..KEEP WRITING AND SCREAMING MAYBE OTHERS WILL HEAR ALSO.

BRAVO! Abdi Noor, you are so right! Ignorance is the
basis for failure wherever it is found! We should hate it
enough to speak out against it as you have so powerfully
and rightly done! I only pray you will be heard!
Incredibly honest prose!Kudo's

Right between the eyes, where it should be. I can do little other than to reiterate Lori's comment below and to pray to know how I can do more than just acquiesce to the perceived status quo. WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING - even if it IS just to rock the boat!! But what about the corruption of internal affairs as well?! There is no doubt about it but that power corrupts at whatever level if the heart of leaders has not love or grace but merely selfish ambition : true of individuals as well as whole government offices. After all, governments are no more and no less than a collection of largely self-orientated people! PLEASE also give us your opinion of what we can realistically do to stem the tide.... TY Kate xx

"YOU MADE US SUFFER FROM DEPENDENCY SYNDROME." That is a powerful statement! So much truth. If only the masses would heed the warning. This is way of the elitist. Not only in Africa, but throughout the world. This is the way of the globalist, who believe they can solve the problems of the world through their all knowing intervention. They develop dependency amongst the masses to secure their power base. The same thing happens in American politics. We have generations who are dependent upon the policies and programs of others. The empty promises that government can do what it was never designed to do. A cure all for every ill. They have been emasculated instead of emancipated. Thank you for sharing your commanding work on this subject. A handout is worthless if it does not offer and require a hand up. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hi Abdi:

I'm sorry to learn of what's happening in Africa. Hope with all our prayers the condition will improve for the better. Take care.

What else can I say, but so sorry to hear of your nation's troubles! My prayers to you and your people, and also the African continent! I can't help with monetary means (am poor myself), but I CAN offer my prayer to Above! And I DO, every day! Powerful, heartwrenching write!

((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))) and much love (and continued prayers), your friend in America, Karen Lynn in Texas. :( >tears, tears, tears <

(((abdi-noor)))

i am so sorry to read of africa's downfall...i don't think the common (poor) people had anything to do with it, i think the almighty (rich) leaders decimated your nation, and continue to do so. other countries, like mine, have no idea of what you and your people are going through. keep shouting it loud and clear from the rooftops, this message needs to be heard.

what can i do, besides pray? i have no monetary solutions, but what can i do as your sister?

powerful, heartwrending, disturbing write--because it's happening to you. :( *tears*

((((HUGS)))), love, and continued prayers, karla. :(
