Ordinary Man In Africa
Ordinary man in Africa
deals in magic, herbs, soothsaying
Very important person
deals in guns, bombs, wars
who is greater in destruction?
Ordinary man in Africa talks
proverbs, riddles, poetry, sagas
Very important person talks
English, French, Arabic, Chinese
Who’s more African?
Ordinary man in Africa eats
from nature- water, jungles, gardens
Very important person eats
from the state- taxes, sectors, trade, public service
Who is more patriotic?
Ordinary man in Africa
lives within nature- relatives, strangers, In-laws
Very important person lives in concrete walls
and with dogs, cats, toys, selected persons
Who is more communitarian?
