The Ancestors are Angry

The Ancestors are angry:

The importance of value. Watching the world change is daunting, watching people change is sad. We live in an age of digital social cults, too fearful to interact with anyone in any positive capacity instead opting to advertise our ordinary accomplishments in posts or shares. The frequency of application or popularity of something drives that something to a lower value than what the promoter claims. Announcing you earned a certificate in modern skill sets online falls in the same comparison as posting how you mastered the skill of shoelace tying. Participation ribbons are not accolades, a simple well done is sufficient because finishing 99th place in a field of 100 Participants is nothing spectacular. Miĺlenials ignore the hard line established in society; not everyone can win and there are going to be losers but that’s no reason to champion every achievement with esteem distinction.

I wrote that, just now but I could claim to have read it in an article posted to some influential platform written by some inspirational author but that would be lying and lying angers our Ancestors. Where I ce from traditional superstition tells any who believe that the spirits of their ancestors are present, need appeasing from time to time and attribute all the negativity in their life to angry dead relatives. The deceased are angry, you should be angry too. A call to the people, hear me. I am your African Braveheart, blessed by sangoma muthi I am here, same as you, angry. The current government plans and endgame of civil war. As with Zimbabwe the phases are in play:
Failure of electricity supply
Failure of food production
Super inflation
Violence against minorities
Endgame: civil war
Country ruined
This has angered the ancestors. All the corruption, lying, cheating, stealing, nepotism and everyday nasty dealings of the government needs to atonned for and the guilty made accountable. All the violation of basic human rights commited by a group of cowardly people against a nation far greater now than it ever was in the past. We overcame tyranny, warfare, pandemics, persecution and everything else the shit stick of life could fling at us; none of that stuck. Become a nation united, united against a new enemy plaguing each and every one of us. This is our country, it doesn't belong to a shit political party trying to sell it to China or Russia or Nigeria. We are South Africa, do not fuck with us. Great stuff, cheers of hooray but how does one pull all that into a plan?
Let's order lunch. There are many passionate people dedicated to their cause actively making the world suck that little less each day, they need our gratitude and support. Let's pull back a bit for a moment as I wonder if the effort is really worth the reward. The thing is these people running their organizations need to meet somewhere to lock in a plan going forward as their individual efforts lack the strength of momentum to kick off national change. I believe change the mindset of the many; just recently I witnessed the cartoon behavior illustrating my point. A local vagabond collecting plastic ware for recycling was literally run out of town by the local Community Policing Forum for reasons unclear and unbeknownst, as follows. One skinny ass street urchin dashed across the railway lines, plastic ware over his shoulder, while being pursued by a fat middle-aged Muppet driving his Ranger truck and swinging his schambok from the driverside window attempting to smack the man on foot while shouting "voetsek jou bliksim" as he braked hard to avoid mounting the embankment. As in the Road Runner cartoon an small garrison of Ranger trucks scurring around the neighborhood for the next twenty minutes playing terrible dance music really loud in search of their target while skinny ass vagabond had ducked into the bushes, waited for the traffic to disperse and went on his merry way. It's this much ado about nothing attitude that prohibits progress, the 'that's how grandpa did it' approached hasn't worked, ever...
Without the people there is nothing. An opinion of equal part common sense and genocide ponders if we really need all of them?
The greater majority remain opposed by reason of social media ignorance, another fight for another time. This is not a call to arms, this is a public service announcement. Be prepared and appease the ancestors. We have endured so much, surviving through it all defiantly. We fought in struggle to forge a worthwhile legacy, don't let the current government piss all over that. I'm not here to tell you what will happen next, that is for you to decide. I will offer a word of caution; angry ancestors are not to be ignored.
