“The Waves and the Good Luck Charms” - So, you have missed indeed saving your protégé. So you have failed with your powerful, promising “genius”. Yet, we clothed you well on the back of an expensive promotion in a rainbow fabric. So, your colours burn bright still, the healer who created you perhaps was not honest or perhaps deliberately wanted to underestimate this enormous sea. If the genius of the forest is already at home and always the master, then the one of the Mediterranean cares only little for mankind. As such, the waves have erased all hope of escape, and the sea has incorporated the hopes of all men into its aura, so that only their talismans; only the good luck charm has landed on an unknown beach, without the nets of oblivion. Why look for who is to blame, when these geniuses continue to scramble one top of the little people, floating far away from the coast. -Lihidheb mohsen, Zarzis, Tunisia, 2003 (“Africans, Let Us Remain at Home.”)
