African Union Defined
What is your objective?
What do you stand for?
You seem to be divided in reality and united under a false context of the European Union
Malawi has to beg while Nigeria is in surplus
We are still fighting hunger
African leaders unite to discuss life time leadership
We fight on hungry stomachs
Guns not food
Europe caters for food under the United Nations.
Intellects sell their soles for short term gains
Our generation surfers
We are still being betrayed by our leaders to former colonial maters.
Still colonial masters if you ask me
Deliberate stupidity
The alternative is sanctions.
United we stand divided we fall
An arid soil can be made fertile
“What came first, the egg or the chicken?”
The soil requires a canopy from the sun
Plants of course, imported if necessary
Water can be pumped directly from the sea
Filtered of course if salted
We should learn to compromise at times of desperation
“Variety is sustainability”
An African Union of scientist and administrators not political leaders
Intellectual integrity seems to be more potent than political integrity.
Political integrity is always welcome to political asylum.
Africanism?
Is there such a thing?
We cannot manage our basic fundamentals in their absence.
A reputation over shadowed by the wealth of corruption.
The figure two is an agreement of one plus one
Africanism has a different understanding
“It is mine without reason”
Who owns the African Union?
