Many rolling baskets man-made creatures with big eyes watch us Noise surrounds us We are shown red light and zebra crossing point But we are told to go, it is safe Another place we see green light but the guide tells us to relax as it is dangerous to go because vehicles are crossing Get inspired with truth stand up-right and talk frankly say some bosses in high offices walk upside-down while in work that evening cross not streets alone because you are wrong forever Men of God sometimes kneel before their Excellencies in power and ask God to bless them quickly and open widely gates of heaven after being shown four-wheel drive!

Yet before God all are equal! But remember this is Africa. The land of upside-down
