I was chuckling, seeing today's topic I instantly went into the politically correct mode. I won't be one to tell any what to avoid however, I would say, (smiles) may I have more of ...............

lions. "Until the lions learn to write, the stories will always glorify the hunters." I would love to see the lions learn to write and hear their stories. Hear lions glorified. I was thinking, does our writing carry accents as our voices do? If they do, I don't know the African writing accent. Is there a palpable difference? If two articles lay side by side and you couldn't tell who penned them, could you tell by the accent it was written by a lion? I want to hear the roar. I guess we were robbed of our accent, the cave paintings did not have a hint of van Gogh or Picasso. They had a mouthful of our accent, pigments of crushed plants mixed with ostrich egg york. May the lost be found again.

questions. I would love to see more questions. Questions that make us churn our souls, sieve through it all, seak the best of our morsels. Questions that make us hold ourselves to a high standard, that leave us better people. Questions that carry real change on their shoulders.

rest. If there isn't a story to be told. It's okay, let it rest. Silence can be a story of its own. Some time for contemplation.
Great piece Nashe, so true, I'll love to see more questions too, it seems we've been complacent for too long, asking no questions and accepting everything dished to us.
I'll also love to hear the Lion's roar and hear our beautiful accent in our writing 😊
