I don't like small talks, I like long conversations about life, nature, the world, death, God. About standing angels and fallen angels and their mystic names and deeds. About dreams and how to achieve them, about money and the lavish life that comes with her. About ancient Rome and Greece not forgetting Carthage and Egypt with her Pharoahs and pyramids. I really don't fancy small talks since my mind is too wide to contain them. I like long conversations on Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Sahara Slave trade; of the great African Kings and Queens that resisted invasion to safeguard their kingdoms and heritage. I like long talks on folklores, tribal histories and Biafra war. I love long talks about world politics and the actors on the world stage especially the past ones for from them I learn eternal lessons. I hate to hear the short versions, I like them well-stretched out to their full lengths. I consider myself an old soul in a new fleshy vessel, so I love long hours of talks about poetry and music in every form and style, those co-joined twin's my first love. I love long talks about Love. I love long talks on Africa, for she is indeed our mother.
