A Continent Half-Dead

Where can I find Africa alive? Africans, a very sick population language, diluted, truncated, lost education, bedeviled, colored economy, bed-ridden, in drips democracy, without soul, spirit industries, baseline and debased agriculture, genetically modified youth, foreign caricature beings patriots, hidden agents of powers mass media, devil’s delight African essence, assimilated Where can I find Africa alive? all I see including me, I guess is a bundle of alloyed humans that lives in Africa but breathes and lives in the West or the East body in Africa, heart across seas body in sick bay, mind kidnapped that is social is not African that is political is not African that is economic is not African that is cultural is not African Remove all that is not African and remain with naked Africa, that is Africa, half alive, half dead!
