That LIGHT called WESTERNIZATION

If you’ve been paying attention, then it’s no news that the world is going berserk. Never in history have we experienced this magnitude of craziness. The world is practically turning up side down and it is very glaring that there’s DOOM coming really soon.

I recently decided to try and keep up with the trend of events happening around the world, be up-to-date, current and stuff and it’s been really crazy.

   
I am an ardent advocate of WESTERNIZATION or should I say I use to be. Seriously, I’m not so sure anymore. Western culture before now had this LIGHT that Africa as a continent needed to draw from because apparently the continent use to be really backward in pretty much every area.

   
As time passed, that LIGHT rubbed off on us, and though we couldn't help it, we could see and feel it. We were happy, at least the bulk of us were. Things started to get better. Barbarism and archaism became words that were seldom heard. Electricity came, so did good roads, our female children could now go to school, a fair legal system that was more organized, there was better medical care, fewer children were seen in the streets, our mothers now have more purpose, finally there was freedom and equality for all. Things started to 'make sense'

Against all odds we drew from ‘that light’. The elderly ones were against the CHANGE that came with that light. They ‘fought tooth and nail’ to drown it. They were not happy, neither were we

Fast Forward…….its 2015

Now we are trapped in the web of ‘that light’. We want to go back but we can’t.

How foolish of us to not have considered the cons that it brought along with its pros. We were totally oblivious, we didn't shield ourselves. Oh WESTERNIZATION, how great is thy sting?

  
Help! what is happening to our daughters? They no longer want to put their clothes on, nudity is now the new 'cool'. Our sons have refused to ‘farm’ with their fathers choosing to be rebellious instead, our parents now live in different houses. What happened to our obedient, disciplined and morally upright children?

    
Hostility, Stealing, wickedness, killing, terrorism, defrauding, divorce are now common place plus I hear homosexual marriage have been legalized in some countries. Same countries we draw light from. Sure doesn’t sound/feel good.

#Sniff....i smell imminent danger, we have to do something, We need to act now before it becomes too late. I dare say we should declare a ‘State of Emergency’

Do we go back and erase every effect of that light alongside every good it came with?

How do we remedy this situation? The seemingly GOOD LIGHT has turned into GROSS DARKNESS swallowing our once dim luminescence.
Indeed “what an old man sees sitting down, a young man cannot see standing up”
