AFRICA AFRICA
Africa Africa,
Home of milk and honey
Land of Green pasture
Moderate atmosphere
The strength of the World
The courage of a new day
But........
A home of Milk and Honey,
People living there eat the bone and drinking bitter leaf.
Land of Green pasture
People desolate it for white man country and named white man country Green land Pasture.
Moderate Atmosphere,
People lives in harsh weather.
The strength of the World,
We now borrow strength to kill a mosquitoes because we are now weak.
The Courage of a New Day,
Still the Future is dark,
Things get worse every moment,
Children cries every moment,
Youth lament daily.
Aged gnashed their teeth to the grave.
Is the land cursed?
Or people there?
Love if far from our daily input and output.
Africa Africa
Why do we make our children cry?
Let us rise up
Live for the happiness of each other,
Live again for the best of each other,
Wipe away the tear of the children,
Make the Youth shout for joy
Make the Aged rest their head peacefully to the grave
Africa

What If Your Life Were a Movie?

I just read a little book on life after death called The Afterlife of Billy Fingers . You’ll have to read it yourself to understand the title and the whole story (which I do recommend). But in it, Billy describes a phase of the afterlife in which you are surrounded (I pictured it like Saturn’s Rings) with a holographic movie screen that replays your life.

What if you would have married someone else? What if you’d chosen a different career path? Billy’s advice? Make your life as interesting and adventurous as possible. Have fun with it!  Now my interpretation: It’s just a life, it’s not the end of the world!
