List of approved churches in Cameroon. Is your church there?

These posts are intended to cater to refined tastes, people like you. But if you find this stuff boring please ignore it and other posts;  if you have a curious mind then read on and let me share this strange journey I undertook in the UFO by telepathy. What strange lands I visited, what strange people I met, and what strange vehicles I moved in....

1.     The Estuarine Race

I came to a beautiful man sanctuary

Surrounding a bountiful estuary

Whose crustaceans gave the people its name

And their chitin in the mind a game

For digested, it gave the warless people a figment of armour

Which begat in that great nation a gladiator’s fervour

And tired of seeing theirs useless, the peers decreed rivalry

For their offspring like Spartans of renowned chivalry

So they will know life is not easy

They stowed the commonweal in foreign vaults

And ask their youths in self-employment to squeeze water from stones

So they will know in their world, it is easy to fail

Though in their days such water to the peers came in a golden grail

They import fake drugs so real healing should come from natural strength

Then train the young in the desert to make large farms

And be exasperated when at harvest time they know hunger

Train them to abstain, then wonder why they are childless

Train them to starve, and wonder why they are weightless

Great cross country and cross decades race

Formidable spectacles that defy the lofty Olympus’s games

Till at last the finishing line at the dawn of death is reached

“Reward to the smart, skilled zealot champions

Who have survived the race by the dint of hope and patience!

Is there better reward than to let you continue to grow these virtues?”
