Observing a neighbour sweeping leaves.
A powerful symbol the broom
swept away bad people from Tiv
from a fragile landscape
the dead leaves of society
and in Yorubaland the corrupt.

Hmmm, don’t get this in its entirety, but that is okay as you have pieced these words and thoughts together for you and your journey. Margie
Margie, I think you would have to be West African to get it and even then…
Twi and Yoruba being two Nigerian languages; Nigerian politics are notoriously corrupt; I may eventually decode this…
On the other hand, some help would be nice.
The broom is a great metaphor.
Yep, spot on!
You know the broom is a symbol for many things in the carribean. The santeria’s
use it for doing away of evil spirits by sweeping them away. Of course, there are
others but an interesting item for metaphors.
Nice,
