...like an amphibian.
I am a child of Africa's yesterday - of Bantu people's laughter and innate kindness, of beauty and truth jumping from the unreserved smiles of the powerless and oppressed; and I am also a child of Africa's present - of self justified religions and neo-colonial techno races run on a thick bed of social impotence.
Being born into two worlds helps one to see that there are many possible worlds, of which the one we live is just our choice, nothing more. Being born into two worlds helps one to see the many souls trapped in a life they have not actively chosen.
Thus I am a freedom fighter. I shall free all Bantu souls from these real and imagined shackles.
And In my fight for freedom for my people I have discovered the real fight. I see now that those who are least free are the jailers. Our jailers who have traded their freedom for material wealth and temporary glory are even less free than we are - trapped, as it were, by their own egos.
So I am that freedom fighter who fights for the souls of the rich and famous. We cannot free anyone if we do not free them from themselves first... right?
