Terrible times

For some people that I have heard of, lack of electricity is just disaster enough to make sure that the man with the top post doesnt sleep at all. That might be disaster for you. Or even a blocked sewer, you know, it affects everything especially the ministry of stomach affairs, that is well understandable. But disaster here, is when its that time of the month when you have to fish out 7 dollars to pay rent. Amazing! Shocking! I know all those beads of truths, mixed with lies that the outsiders say about us, like the other day, that TV guy was here, covering a story on the rich poor. Rich poor doesnt exist in the dictionary, the last time i checked. I know all about those aerials that they see sky rocketing around here, I know about all that, but still 7 dollars, it is....disastrous.......... It will make anyone go for those special holidays the likes of Mungitu at the corner stage call holiday, we call it going for exile. That means you take a french leave, like you are going to the shops, which doesnt leave you much room to carry out the necessary stuff, after that you go underground just for a while making sure to pop uo in strategic points to the sight of the people whom you know are the local journalist we call them, they will definately Break the News. The point in all this, is to let anyone who matters to know, you are stilll within, they cant get to you, but neither are you dead,....then when the landlord cools down because he difinately will, he is used to that fracas..anyway, you pop out....... and the first thing is to deny if you were ever around, the ones who saw you, waliona zao, the real explanation is that those boys in blue just handcuffed you a few metres from the plot, and you had to be hosted by the local urine hole in the name of a cell for the last few days. You are definately going to pay the rent once you get your ID back because the mhindi in Inda promised you , ubaruch come Monday............, now that is what I call classic disaster management!
