I’m in the Jacuzzi, bubbling ounces warming up every single inch of my almost naked body! My eyes were closed when I opened them suddenly I saw in front of me on the right a black toe with a thick golden nail that started to emerge from the boiling miniature water volcano! A whole foot emerged and all the toenails were heavily paved with gold! It was impressive and beautiful! I was an Afri in a Jacuzzi with Africa!
-“You thought you’ve left me behind?” She said, with a constant wise smile drawn on her face!
-”I didn’t leave you! It’s just that I like my coffee with hole milk! I meant whole milk!” I responded and slightly laughed!
-“Why have you left? Really?” She asks.
-“You know your Lands better than me, Mama! You know that I couldn’t live being who I am on your earth and continent! But after all, I left Africa and came here as an Afri to discover that they call California ‘CA’, so I am an AFRI in CA! Mama Africa.”
-“I love America, I mean the USA but it’s not what I thought it would be! Here, it’s a land of rich over poor and abuse of power using money! I left Africa to meet freedom in America but freedom is hiding so far I couldn’t find it or meet it! It maybe has left! Where should I go next to find it that’s the question? Australia, Asia, Europe, or go back to Africa maybe? I don’t know! However, there’s deep inside of me the feeling that freedom is above finding refuge in one country, above finding shelter in one continent, it is above asylum in one ‘safe’ place upon another! Freedom is in union and peace and a better international system that rule our planet! No more division, no more individualism! If we just for a moment think that we live in a ball called planet Earth and floating in the air, we will understand that we can’t be divided only united in happiness and peace as one human race!”
-“I talked too much Mama!” I looked back at her and said!
She looked at me back and responded, “I am a continent I don’t speak that much and you shouldn’t expect America to speak as a continent or the USA as a country neither! The People are the ones who can and must speak and either they will bring us together as we used to be or separate us more than we are right now!”
I didn’t say goodbye, and left her without even apologizing! I left Africa at the boiling Jacuzzi of the Y, and I don’t know why?
