Across Oceans of Hope

POETRY UBUNTU SERIES

Ubuntu we are because we are

Ubuntu: I am because you are.

We move through troublesome times
some more so than others,
all suffering the effect of this raging fire
however big or small.
There’s only one true way to put out this fire;
we all become one again, one mind one heart one spirit
joining together across oceans of hope.

Faith in a vaccine to do our work for us
will not help those without access,
our responsibility to one another so far has not
bore the fruit so needed for our fellow brothers and sisters,
often forgetting we are born under the same tree
with far-reaching roots around the planet.
The time is now to wake up from our slumber.

Ubuntu: We are because we are.

This piece is the second piece in the Ubuntu series in the spirit of
“I am because you are.” Here is the link for last weeks piece,
“Ubuntu Mbira. I am because you are.” Please feel free to explore the first of the series.
