Nicely put chidi, if one can say "nice" when it is such horrors we are facing. Just reading mbembe on death, in tutuola. This reads like the craziness of the other world that he captures, and that we are living with these nuts in charge of our lives.

Nuts,
With nuke boxes.
Their restless fingers
Atop the nuke buttons.
From Pyongyang,
From Washington,
From Moscow,
They sing macabre songs.
