In Africa Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In Africa



There are no shithole countries in Africa
Only shithole mental state disorders
Openly displayed in public offices
Openly embraced by politicians & the elites

Shithole mental state is a disease
That attacks the fundamental way of thinking
Breaking down critical hard-wired communal survival skills
Chewing through the frontal lobe
And any other lobe that contains common sense

Shithole mental state disorders can be classified into 2 classes

Acute onset greed on someone who was previously not well-off
This lead to acute mania with possible psychosis
Other symptoms include a ridiculously high "false" sense of power
And abandonment of family, friends & everyone from their past
An unrealistic show of wealth & poor financial judgement
Often leading to extreme poverty within five to ten years

Chronic inability to empathize with the poor & vulnerable
A rejection of the critical humanistic trait of compassion
This class mostly affects politicians, civil servants and the elites
Other symptoms include a high, often "false" sense of achievement
And an inability to see beyond the individual
This disease is the major cause of poverty in Africa
It breeds corruption and fuels wars
It is anti-humanity & unAfrican
