The house of partition
Assuming in a nutshell this house of ours here
in Africa
like so many things are falling apart
and then like this kind of love is the lover of itself
like African people did not care how they are differing
in the deen.
O Africa when will you stop being like anthropological
museum or station or like a political battle field or like a
strange place to strike - and - divide-and - rule out
something of our deen.
For see how you dovetail today
for see how it seems you may be tomorrow
for see how the world is suffering at your hands, or did
you not notice that?.
O Africa what made your lands so apt and careless to
accept an abomination as hash world difference for
instance yet you knew no need, yet you leave your rights
and duties and obligations hampering and sinking
elsewhere if not in the first place transformational
and sort promotional there.
O Africa were you not recently due to doomed to slavery
and by the grace were delivered.
Let assume that the claim is pinned to democracy, but
yours is even worse right than the well advanced
democracies and nations.
O Africa Is advise you to forget about dividing the deen
(since by naming you are differing most) and be
foremost bearer of it's flag for better and for worse.
