Isn't this an existential war of endless Hullabaloo? Should this be a road to State House or a thorny path to Hate-House? There are wild wolves in Jolof Land attacking our existence! This means threats have started creeping towards existentialism. Come,Come,Come...Ignorance Come here! More raw laws,more mud,more sores. More "brownish" moons to stay up above the plains. We can't see the brightness we can only see the wan moon light. "Ndeysaan!" when judgement patrols within the fields of prejudice callous minds are considered pleasant pals. This isn't safe bro. It is not! I love commitment. If character was a plate,I would choose commitment as my spicy garlic sauce. Is there any difference between the sad and the bad? Yes! The sad can be good but the bad cannot be good. The sad aren't usually good. The sad aren't usally bad. The bad aren't always sad either. There is a french writer who said it this way..."Seul les embiciles sont recompensees"-"It is only idiots that society compensates!" Saaara Demba Please do not take this literally it is a philosophical "escapade". In reality being an idiot or being a pleasant gentle character is relative. It relates to the receiving perception and judgement. Lest we forget when Dr. Achebe said this..."Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" Isn't that true when one things about the essence of "social relativity" in our land? Njagga Mbye the famous Senegalese singer said this.."Suhlu Mborr Langak Mom Mogen mooye borey daan Ngaiye rey!"-When one is supporting a wrestler,it is much better if this fan dances with him in the middle of the arena. Relaxing at the rear waiting to rejoice when the wrestler wins the match is not ideal.

 

This vein we are seeing is swelling on all sides. Will it burst? Yes it will burst and there will be pools of blood. History is a wicked witness,whereas time is a patient partner. History is a long story,it always betrays fools and the impatient. Sometimes listeners hear a loud "am sorry" from history the wicked witness. Sometimes listeners hear a cold "well done". This is why William was right when he said..."The evil that men do lives after they are gone and the good is buried with them" Oh! Lord! Philosophy is such a complicated and pleasant arena of thoughts.There are times when we massage egos,there are times when egos massge us. Our's is done in  the Jolof land Spa. The table is set the massagers are waiting, while  the egocentric are sizzling in abstract intensions.

 

We heard it when one wild wolf raised its hand in the wilderness, talking about Silicon Valley! Silicon Valley or "Sitikong" Valley? Oho! sometimes this smoky path chokes philosophy. It chokes everything sane and rains on everything insane with a vicious feeling of insanity. These wild wolves use pens with poisonous nibs,these poisonous nibs purchase food poison. This unwanted food is meant to crack our ribs. No more tight lips! Rise up and step on  the dragon before the dragon gets you! I am once again escaping to Jamaica,where I will hold a meeting with the teachings of Rasta men and women. These rastas aren't those with lice and confusiion they have their poetic licences.This is why Bob said.."Man-to-Man-is-so-unjust" Unjust? Injustice? where do we stand on this path that is full of political tseste flies? Where? Tell me please! We heard another facet from this pool of dreamology. We heard the same wild wolves say Cambibolongo was about to start sending food aid to its neighbours? Eh Eh! Food aid deh? Okay Sir! Kocc Barma said this..."Kou Laahut Lekka Dou Laah Jaay"-"Someone whose porridge is not enough for the family cannot sell any at the market!" Chei Waaye! Case File X is an interesting one. History is a wicked witness. History loves disgracing wild wolves in power. History does not receive blackmail,history sends blackmail back to the senders! When will that day be? The day is not far away! The day is far away!  Hey Demba what do you mean? Oho! Please take note of this sour fact once and for all. Remember one thing here. This distance is measured by perceptions not emotions. Patience is a good ruler anyway. It measures everything in the most efficient way. Chalk does not hack,chalk writes. Axes do not write, axes hack. No wonder! This is why William sent us another  lexicon.."An axe to grind with X".

As words are images that are associated with perceptions,proverbs refer to these images and perceptions when talking to us. These axes are the very tools Hutus and Tutsis used in Kigali. Pain is pain. Sorrow is sorrow. I would prefer pain not sorrow. Painstaking steps do not always go invain. Walk the walk and talk the talk.

Hi Ya! There is an old cow boy saying I picked up in 2003. It says.." No bragging,just facts!" This is reality and nothing else. After all these cowboys call "Nonsense" "Bunkuum". Hello how about when "Bunkuum" is mixed with the wild interest of these wild wolves in Cambibolongo? These are wild political wolves in Cape St Mary's Island drinking Gambian Chunkum! Chumkum is the mild palm wine. Aren't we fermenting this wine for an endless celebration of insanity?

For The Gambia Our Homeland We Strive and Work and Pray! I remember singing this verse when the morning dew washed my toes at Bakau Barracks! I saw the flag rise up and I heard my heart whispering to my soul. It reminded me about what we saw on the board. "Obey all lawful orders written or otherwise" Aha! Thats a good reminder deh! The Criminal Code says.."Obey all lawful! Orders! Written! Or Otherwise!" Lawful orders...Not unlawful ones. There are powerful unlawful orders also. This is where might stands before right. This is where right is either bulldozed or received with roses! Right cannot be received with red roses where the heavy yoke of those powerful unlawful orders are parading the streets! This is what right calls checks and balances,not balances and checks. Balancing and checking while grilling souls, is done on the selfish counter of a ruthless sales person. We would prefer buying with smiling faces but not with swollen ones!

Winning is not sinning. Oh no! but Sinning before winning means killing!
