THE SPIRIT OF AFRICA can be found in her people and their ability to build a rainbow nation.

THE SLOW RISE OF THE PHOENIX
The black revival of Africa has in the past been
linked with a phoenix that rises from the ashes.
Presently the phoenix sits on the ashes of the past, it is time to rise above
it and soar again.
The phoenix cannot build its nest in the ashes of past pain.
A wound cannot heal when the scab is constantly being scratched open.
Freedom is rising to new heights,
not staying grounded or try and retrieve that what is
lost.
A phoenix will spread its wings and embrace its freedom.
Freedom is not gained by fighting among one another.
Remembering when Germany embarked on a mission of ethnic cleansing it was split
in two.
She had to hide behind a wall for many a decade.
African settlers, have their ancestry in Europe.
The sentiment of the European countries can change
easily if their offspring is being suppressed by a war-like situation.
The old saying that blood is thicker than water holds
every time.
One continent can no longer isolate itself from the rest of the world.
Suppression and racism give the impression of a a pending war.
One can see the
beginning of a snowball of rejection gathering momentum when economic giants
withdraw their investments from an environment where their kind feels
threatened.
In the future funds will be diverted to situations
where peace can be restored and the global environment sustained.
Leaders of our civilization are recognizing that at the
core of this planet, we are united.
Just as gangrene on a toe threatens the health of a body, so gangrene in
any nation threatens the global health.
The waters that wash the coast of Africa also finds its way to the coasts
of every other country in the world.
We are ONE.

Cecil the Lion - Canned Lion Hunting
Often the killer would pose with his trophy-kill while smiling with satisfaction.
The hunted canned Lion entered the after-world in a state of fear, pain and disillusionment with man.
There are target shooting clubs offering competitions and video games where they can show off of their shooting expertise.
It will take four generations for humanity to totally purge today's transgressions.

The sound of the African drum
THE SOUND OF THE AFRICAN DRUM
the sound of the rhythm of the beating of her drums which
pulse like blood through her arteries and veins.
From the high mountain tops and deep valleys the sound calls her people to unity.
The drum is the voice box Mother Africa -
It synchronizes to the heartbeat of her people.
Her rhythm stirs their bones to single action.
Her sound calls her people to her breast.
The message beats out loudly:
"Feel the soil on which you stand, my children it's your soil ……
Your continent.
Your Africa
All who stand on it are your brothers and sisters -
Nurture them, feed them, love them and heal them.
"I am not calling you to war or discrimination against your brother of different skin, tongue or faith.
I call for the war against separation.
I call for the power of unity.
I call back my natural heritage and the sound of nature.
I call back the pride of Africa.
.
My children I give you all you need to nurture all of you
Export not my rich bounty for a ransom, but feed your starving brothers, sisters and animals first.
Educate my children, nurture them heal them and give them shelter.
Return their strength so they too can dance to the rhythm of my pulse.
One Drum
One rhythm - One action - One continent - One power
One United AFRICA

A message from the Ancestors of Africa
Large animals, with horns or tusks, like the rhino and the elephant, are sacred.
Horns and tusks, on living wild animals, are symbols of the African sword, just as the lion is the symbol of our strength and our kingship.
The sword is the symbol of the African warrior our pride and kingdom
The gun is a symbol of the robbers of our land and killers of our people. The gun is a symbol of slavery and when our children who were torn from our mother’s bosom to far away places for the comfort and pleasure of foreigners.
The gun is not a symbol of African power. It is a symbol of suffering and bloodshed. Hate the gun.
We should despise those who carry guns to kill our sacred symbols in the wild.
Those who rob our sacred symbols are cursed.
The lion is the symbol of our victory, strength and the African way of life.
We despise those who cage the symbols of our strength, or shoot our wild animals for trophies on foreign walls. We spit on cowards who ride on African power … dead powers on walls.
Do not forget the old way, children of Africa, as you walk into the future.
Remember where you come from, we can see our heritage the eyes of the animals in the wild.
Protect those who live wild as you once lived. Protect those who know the secrets of yesterday, secrets of your free and wild past.
When the lion dies the power of Africa goes to foreigners.
Protect animals with horns and tusks, for they remind is that this land is ours and it is worth preserving.
Wild animals use their horns, or tusks to fight for territory, as our ancestors used the sword to fight for this land. Land that people with guns robbed from us. Hate the gun.
African people, may you find a way to bring the power of the jungle, into the global consciousness of your tomorrow. Preserve the wild animals, carriers of our secrets. They are sacred. Africa is sacred.
If the above message sounds believable, believe in its origin and if it does not, regard it as fantasy. A children’s bedtime story.
Much truth lies hidden in children’s novels.

THEFT AND CORRUPTION IN DEVELOPING NATIONS
Theft and corruption are among the biggest evils in developing nations. This does not mean that it does not occur in mentally polarized nations, but it is of a different nature. Thinking people understand that actions have consequences and they are therefore generally (not exclusively), law abiding.
Taking something that one did not work for can have far reaching effects by trapping people and nations in poverty. Stealing from another, results in negative counter action.
Although we have people from all ‘walks of life’ in all nations, nations are judged by the level of evolvement, of the majority, and the maturity of national leadership.
Jungle law depends on taking from the environment for survival and procreation of the specie. This is not viewed as theft, in the jungle, but as a means of survival. Jungle law allows for the strongest of a specie to eliminate the weaker ones.
Poverty, lack of spiritual guidance, absence of birth control and education, traps people, from developing nations, into a living status of urban-jungle-survival.
An urban-jungle-survival lifestyle, places much stress on both the environment and a country’s resources. So much money and time is wasted on damage control and bringing those who fall foul of the law to justice. Without a true understanding of national evolutionary psychology, developing nations are fighting a loosing battle against the destructive forces within developing countries, which are today threatening the stability of the earth.
A person (or nation), with jungle mentality, who spent most his/her life learning survival skills, will be a destructive force when in possession of a gun. He will kill, in order to take what he wants without any remorse.
Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of primitive people or physically polarized nations can and will be used for war which will results in death, destruction, economic stress, and threaten global may threaten global stability.
Could you imagine an atom bomb in the hands of a developing nation?
The problems of ‘boys’ playing with daddy’s toys’ is already at crises stage. It can no longer be ignored, but is there anything that can be done to restore equilibrium?
Racism can either be a form of jungle law politics, or a form of protection against a jungle law threat. - This is a story for another day.
Please note that this article does not suggest that all developing people or nations are immature or destructive forces. Some ‘poor’ nations are in fact ancient and are the custodians of secrets forgotten by the developed world.

POEM IN THE MAKING (Help welcome)
Carte Blanche
Help me find words for this poem –
In memory of Bat the baboon
This poem aims to point out how we as conservationists make decisions regarding nature purely from a human viewpoint.
People working with nature need to cultivate the ability to tune into the life of their project. Before killing Bart an attempt should have been made to understand how and why life failed him and shaped his behavior.
We make decisions about removing alien vegetation without considering the animals that have been using that vegetation for food or shelter for centuries and the birds that migrate to nest in the ‘alien’ trees or the buck that used it for camouflage.
Please help me to find words for this poem to highlight the above concerns.
Bart was only a baboon, but ahead of his time was he.
Protected from howling wind, blistering sun and winter freeze,
shady branches of trees he shared with the bees.
From Table Mountain slopes, everything he could see.
Food was scarce but his family he could feed.
The mountain was his garden and plants grew freely from seed.
Bogom say Bart with with Cape Town at his feet.
Conservationists looked up and thought this we do not want to see.
The mountain slopes are a forest where natural flora once grew
(in toeka se tyd)
How long ago that was, if ever, no-one knew.
We think generations ago our "blommeprag" was there for all to see.
Bogom say Bart, this is our home, can you not see?
Our shelter and food was in that tree.
Gone with the trees, there is no place for it now,
Lets chop them and bun them to the ground
Three hundred year old giants, aliens somehow.
Bart looks around but his bogom comes without a sound.
Fear and panic strikes his tribe when the first tree hits the ground.
This is our home,where will food and shelter now be found?
