Questions In Africa

The sound of the wind is the wind that makes the sound what is a sound? What is a wind? What is the sound? What is the wind? What is the sound of the wind? Censored the sound is shimmering to fissure the fetter a locust of beigns rigged out If war means death why do people go to battle? war and battle are they the same? Which one is bad? which one incites a bard? a necessary end death is to Ceasar but why come when the end is unnecessary? If hunger that has hope kills what does hopeless hunger do? What defines a foreign cow and a local cow...the milk or the colour Is the evidence of absense same as absence of evidence? If poverty is indeed a curse what is the cause? why is killing someone called murder but killing at the right time called politics? What is murder? Is it the same as mother? Which one annihilates and which one creates? What is politics? Is it a game is it a war is it a battle is it evil or is it all? What is evil? Nothing! The heart only makes it so if the heart could think evil is the heart not evil? Since one acquires one's mother tongue what forbids one from acquiring the murder tongue too? If the patient dog eats the fattest bone and a person who arrives at the well first draws the cleanest water what then is the equilibrium? Saying what you mean and meaning what you say are they the same? Does the constant nodding of the lizard mean all is well? Now the sound I know the wind now I know but the sound of the I know not Tell me the sound of the wind
