Synapse. Antjie Krog

injustice, being kept inferior feeds the hate

      8.

      academics claim that the single vertically

      integrated dominance of the West

      has been replaced nowadays by the nervous

      somewhat xenophobically tainted concept of

      dissimilarity and heterodoxy

      all according to Fanon’s logical template

      therefore all one can do is post-colonially

      sigh, smile and shrug one’s shoulders

      9.

      but how do we hold each other’s blood in safekeeping other than

      to fervently commit ourselves to our shared sky and the sanctity

      of all bodies so that the heartless the merciless the brutal

      the cruel the vicious are not what we wear

      facing each other. in the end, wherever you are, the

      foundations on which everything rests remain corruption and complicity

      but the most dangerous of them all are the clean hands

      Based on texts by JM Coetzee, John and Jean Comaroff,

       Frantz Fanon and Carl Jung.
