Cause when you're down, that's how you'll stay 2006-12-04 - 8:18 a.m.
In the city....oh, oh. There is �Crazy Man 2� who spends his time in another part of the city. He has on clothes that are so dirty and tattered they seemed to have grown on to him. No, that�s not the crazy part. He wears a large set of headphones that date back to the 70s. The cord dangles beside his hi, plugged into nothing. He walks with a strut as if listening to some cool tunes. Magic, I tell you. There is �Naked Man� and �Naked Woman�. People have tried to give them clothes but apparently they prefer the wind on their skin. Naked Woman is roughly 300 pounds. Yea. They got guts though. I�ll give them credit for that. There is a corner where the one traffic light sits and people with all sorts of handicaps sit waiting for a handout. There are at least 4 men with deformed legs who have little wheelie platforms they roll around on. There are 2 men missing and arm. There is a man who has a face that looks as though it were melting wax. There are a few blind people who have small children with them to help them beg. There is a man with a hand that seems to be eaten away by a type of fungus. It�s hard to go by that spot. Although I find �Crazy Men� and �Naked people� a bit amusing, my heart goes out to these other people. When I go to the grocery store on Sundays there is a man on a platform that waits for me. I give him money and a welcoming Bonjour Masseur, CaVa? It doesn�t make me feel special. I wish there were more I could do. It�s amazing what even a little can do to make a difference. And last of all, there are �Pee Pee Men�. This is generalized because it�s everywhere and a lot of men. I have never once been out driving and not seen at least one man standing by the side of the road casually taking a leak. The earth is there toilet my friend and they will whip it out anywhere, anytime the need arises. You get used to it. Well now, I�ll wrap it up for today. Tomorrow I�ll have more on Yaounde. Stay tuned. |
