Africa Left Behind

Today's headline: Mass vaccination in Africa begins in mid-2021 Wildfires do not pause for water hose, their seething pain not soothed by a retard, life's full of pose and repose when fairness reigns, otherwise it's forfeited to vulgar lust. The season's devil must vanquish kindly, collectively, without murmuring prejudice, or it seizes upon our wretched walls, taxing our profit, the lofty humanity. Gladly lay account to an unreality, that Africa gets it first and the West last, can you imagine, they'll likely nuke Africa to come out first, so the white ruling class of the world can rejoice a heroic battle won with its golden-wiped, polished media bandits -- they are good for a swindle and a grief. I want someone to rob the West of all their vaccines and dump them in Africa, so the slave continent can beat the old sorcery kitchen and escape its wilderness, let the scoundrels of the West hue and cry and speak of fairness and equality, scrabbling Africa's chestnut, their halls of power in moonlit gloom. The seven deadly sins of colonialism jump at us too late to stop the momentum, a brilliant revenge: pillage, slavery, settlement, indoctrination, coups and countercoups, and lies, history's full of them, and so is the ballad of the barefeet people's will to resist, every day is a good day to hang a colonialist by a Christmas tree.
