Thanks Bailo and my regards to you

I'm unconvinced by the argument that our parents and children have purer inclinations and ordinary wish not to have their pristine space invaded by expletives.

As you know, Western politicians grandstand on all kinds of issues including the generally harmless hoodie dress code. Surprise surprise a former UK Home Secretary used her parliamentary expenses to pay for blue/pornographic  movies. Who would have thought the purer high and mighty like a UK Home Secretary would spend her time in such manner.  The simple point is that human beings are not fundamentally dissimilar from a natural perspective, and I am not unduly bothered about language against the powerful wicked. As earlier contended, my sympathies are solidly with the powerless victims of brutality in The Gambia, and I entertain no squeamishness about how people express themselves.

>>The Lament
>>By
the roadside
>>On
way to their village 
>>With
hands under chins
>>Sobbing
gently, crying audibly, wailing sadly
>>And
rather incomprehensibly, intermittently laughing hilariously
>>As
if on cue, they then loudly uttered a succession of expletives
>> 
>>A perturbed
oldie traveller 
>>Chancing
on the melancholy six
>>Gently
enquired what be the matter
>>One
after one the suspicion 
>>The
very strong suspicion
>>Invisible
invaders were about in their village
>> 
>>My
brother’s body found on outskirts of village
>>My
father disappeared from village mosque
>>My
cousin abducted from village football field
>>My
uncle in prison for telling stories to village chief
>>My
sister beaten for not clapping for distinguished visitors to village 
>>My
nephew with village chief for writing nonsense about distinguished visitors
>> 
>>So
we sobbed
>>So
we cried
>>So
we wailed
>>So
we laughed
>>But
we also shouted expletives
>>And
even more expletives to temporarily drown our sorrows
>> 
>>But
we were called uncivil
>>Uncivilised
even
>>By
others also condemning the invisible invaders
>>For
shouting a few expletives 
>>At
the traumatic invisible invaders of our village
>>What
utter nonsense this
>> 
>>The
oldie traveller agreed our expletives we should escalate
>>For
death is infinitely worst than the worst form of expletives
>>For
disappearance is worst than a few mild expletives
>>For
abduction is worst than a handful of expletives
>>For
unmerited imprisonment is worst than occasional expletives 
>>For
physical abuse is worst than few expletives directed at the village traumatizer 
>> 
>>How
misplaced this ridiculous lament of our civilised and cultured men and women
