Slum cocktail
In the next moments I will share with you an African Cocktail which is served here in Kenya . The reason I am telling you about this recipe is because it really worked for me getting me dizzy. So here it goes :
You take a few billions people and you put them live in an opened area. You provide them ...nothing and wait. In a short period of time they will start building improvised
houses made by all sort of garbage. Between their houses you let small black children to run naked. You let them very narrow alleys where they can move from a place to another. You make everything very dirty on the edge of life conditions. When they are born , they don't cry because is useless. You don't show them another way of life and they learn to smile. They smile a lot. You can look in the children eyes and see how they shine and how adorable and innocent they are. When they die you can carry their bodies outside the slum , sometimes in a blanket.
Mix it good.
Now you only have to add some feelings :
- hate for the leaders who got people in this situation,
- love for the children who want to hold your hand ,
- fear of the men who just stand there and look at you knowing you have a few dollars in your pocket
- respect for the women who cook in the street to feed family and neighbours
- smiles for the people asking you :" How are you "
You mix all those feelings well in a hot day and you will get a taste of the real world. Thank You. Who ever You are.
