A 66 page NEPAD document, Sinepad,
combat climate change, reading it turns
me into Quasimodo, mute and hunch-
backed, why is it so difficult to struggle
through a boring declaration of intent,
a grandiose plan of development that
makes me go cross-eyed, arrests my
brain patterns, confuses the alpha and
beta rhythms, turns me into a blubbering
idiot, unsure of breathing, I agreed to read
all documents to be discussed; thank you
so much, my darling brain, for failing me
completely, proving to be the most use-
less political instrument, only fit for little
rhymes and small limericks, not
fit for dramatic, world-shattering
political statements at all!

Very interesting and very true too. But we have to remember too, that we can only go so far in reading documents for discussion. We have to rest periodically when we do read these documents, because mental fatigue is worse that physical fatigue any time. This is written very well, and has a message. That message is, take a break now and then, because if you don't you'll end up on the insane ward at Belleview. Thannk you for sharing and this is definitely a 10. Hugs, Barbara
