Taimoor's Rap
Ok here's the situation.That girl right there just gave her explanation.Now its upto me to tell you how,The different band societies work now.Ranging from thirty to fifty people,With no individual property ownership,These nomadic populations of food collectorsBased their bands on blood and kinship.They place high values on sharing and reciprocity.Probably the oldest because they're associated with forging technology.They handle their disputes with direct negotiation,So they can get along well with the population.Highly egalitarian, they had few differences of wealth,And took care of each other in really bad health.The people in the bands had little role specialization,Just like the fact that they had the same traditions.And because of the same traditions they had the same culture.And that same culture incorporated their good future.And then there was this band who spoke its own language.But it didn't matter to them as they all understood about it.And all the band members were independent of each other,So they could live in peace and harmony with their prodigal brother.And lastly there was this man from Kalahari.He was the headman of the tribe Ju/'hari.He carried his load on his own two shoulders,And its not because his heart wasn't colder.It just wasn't his culture to take favors,No matter how hard were his endeavors.His leadership role was very informal.It stemmed not from spiritual or physical powerbut based on his wisdom and being novel.So for all you people from distant landsI give you ma' brother Nick, i hope you understand....

I found it very interesting how the teachings of the nomadic people were put together in this Blog poetically. The part speaking about that they stood together during really bad health and how they stick by their brother shows alot about how these people used to work. It shows that they could be depended on and were loyal to others.

What made it even more interesting for the group is that as a memeber taimoor went out of his zone to devise a rap. Both Nick and Taimoor worked with the rest of the group, as if a political system would, to compromise and adapt to the thought process the entire group was going for, which was a music and rhythm-based presentation. (not sure is i spelled rhythm right)
