Africa is not a charity case,
Colombia is not a charity case,
Bolivia is not a charity case,
Venezuela is not a charity case,
Mexico is not a charity case,
Philippines is not a charity case,
Thailand is not a charity case,
India is not a charity case -
the global south is not a charity case,
it's rich with both mind and minerals.
Human poverty in the global south is
manufactured by the northern apes.
Awake, Arise, O Children of South,
you got more brain, heart and backbone
than all old and new colonials combined.
Humans of Earth everywhere, all rise 'n roar,
the first global goal is to fire the fascists.”

"I must have been drunk," he said. He threw the door open. "Come in. And try not to murder any of my guests." Jace looked at him, "Even if one of them spills something on my new shoes?" "Even then." - 219”
