MAKE THE CORPSE WALK!

"Make The Corpse Walk" was a book title made popular by that prolific writer of my time, James Hardly Chase.

"The Man Died" was the title of that master piece by our own Wole Soyinka. A book some people described as unreadable because of its high level prose and intellectual content looking into the future.

Combining the two titles I find myself in South Africa!

There a man "died", his coffin polished to shine beyond the glitz of all the lights around.

A deceitful man moves his hands over and above his torso like a magician in the mold of the famous Prof. Peller, that Nigerian who made a success of that trade that I have never understood the mythology.

These South African guy men, one in the coffin and the one standing didn't control the scrutiny of the lenses of the cameras even as the dead man was struggling to breath through suffocating woolen balls in his nostrils. The video is just a tragedy.

Then suddenly the abracadabra is finished, he gets up like a programmed robot, drops his mouth in awe as a dead fool he was pretending to be.

It didn't end the scam.

He gets up and walks through a cluster of master con men who organized the blasphemy, as senior church members .

Oooooh, the blazer flips open and there it is under the lapel: An Android phone!

Phew!!

In the pocket of a supposedly dead man?! See it circled in the picture.

Next he seats in front of the congregation enjoying a pack of continental meal, popping his eyes, still moving his head like a programmed robot.

Dear Christ, all you told us in the Scriptures are coming through faster than we expect. My soul quivers at the precision of the Holy Bible. It is amazing how each is coming through before our eyes.

Even as the love of man to his fellow humans has gone so cold amongst his fellow beings. That too was clearly written in the Bible in this end times.

Was it written that a country should organise the most laughable jamboree in crude rigging and call it election? Yes, that one is written from Genesis to Revelation. The struggle of good over evil. Man, what art thou is not cursed!

And a system unleashes terrorism and blood spilling?!

Evil can be sown in a people, by the people, but it is written that those who sow evil or turn blind eyes when one is committed shall reap evil.

In Africa, the dead rides supreme while the living celebrate the dead even when they come down as a chip of cosmos itself. When they do, they sure have Android phones straight from that region of the spirits and the unknown!

We are not mocked by anybody or race. We are just left to wade in the woods or worse to simmer in our own juice.
