In every town there is.........

He studies the movements first

I read a book sometime back that in every town there is always an idiot - a mentally handicapped or deranged person.  Gulu does not have only one but several.  I understand that because of the war and the life in the displacement camps, there are many who are suffering from mental illness and there are no hospitals here where they can be confined. Most often, I would notice such persons in public gatherings where they would join performers.  They just do their own act and are tolerated since they are harmless.  Another person who attends Sunday mass gets to deliver his invocation in the dialect following the official invocation.  I never suspected that he was mentally ill because the whole congregation solemnly responds to each of his statements. Then I understood why he was not using the podium or given the microphone - he is just being tolerated because he is harmless.

Now he got it

Most of us may have seen one like them, and when they are gone, they are sorely missed.
[I masked their faces in all pictures to protect their identities.]

They have become part of society.
