My people lost their culture.

I feel culturally exploited. Have you realized what we are? Culture stealers....One day, way in the past, there came a person from the West, and having loved the land that was full of riches and a people who were more than willing to accept him into their society (Oh what a terrible mistake), the person decided to stay and with him came his fellows and a culture and an insidious intent to grab the people's number Uno resource: Their land. Now he did this by displaying his culture to the people, his culture had technologically enhanced objects that made life a lot easier, like, Mirrors, Cigs (Cigarettes really?), Matches, Sugar, Guns and ammo, Clothes that covered his whole body (Hence the nickname, Vasina Mabvi/ Men without knees) and hats etc...and the people were awed...they though of him as a god and having seen their admiration, the person and his tribe moved fast to consolidate power in the people's society....In no time, the people were under this person and his peers and they said of the people's culture, it was inferior and devilish (seriously, how dare can someone come into your home and tell you that and you let him go?) and hence, they should discard it and follow his.....well, there was a rally of people leaving their ways- which had sustained their fathers and their fathers before them opting for this man's culture and amid that culture was a creature called capitalism that had the people in a crux....it brought along its tentacles that included money, work and taxes and soon, the people were in debt and they had to work in a system that the person created and eventually they had to be educated in the ways of the person...Alas, the education opened their eyes to see how stupid and backward the ways of their fathers were, how their wisdom was not wisdom at all...Ironically, it also opened their eyes to see how he had initially outsmarted them. The people cried out to God and organized themselves into armed resistance and finally won the victory! A period of pomp and fanfare followed the toppling of the person however, it was short-lived.

  Today the people having wrestled power from the person, they now continue to worship his culture....and disregard the wisdom of their ancestors....It is a tough tough thing for them to start considering their culture as worthy because they had been told for years and years that theirs were ways of the dark...And I was born amid the furore and now I am trying to find my way back to where we lost it...and thus, here I am, hoping brothers will join me on this noble sojourn. Still my people,what a sad sad life they are living....
