"Indirect Rule" refers to the idea of British colonialism and power over African populations late in the 19th century and early into the 20th century up until World War II. Essentially, the British, which occupied and controlled thousands of square miles of Africa and its inhabitants, laid claim to a monopolozing relationships with many different African civilizations. For centuries, foreign countries would explore and discover how rich in natural resources Africa was; they all wanted a piece. They would demand the African leader or king to follow whatever orders they were given on how to govern their people; any resistance and they would be removed and replaced by another African ruler, one who would comply. For my readers sake, I will use this analogy: The British, and other foreign powers, were the mob. They would tell Africans how they were going to do business, and if they didn't like it, they were killed.

Dolphins caught in the internet.
On a whim swim through the blue
and look down so not overwhelmed.
Remember when you were young;
you shined liked a big one far and
hard.
Float on,
go and go and re-live some more.
Do it tomorrow and soon
it will be tomorrow.
Follow and follow and make yourself hollow.
Dry and brittle you
can't stand the water.
Age is a number,
another summer
another summer.
