What Have We Done?

Ugonna Wachuku

 

Drowning calmness and

pure pain unknown 

overwhelm my being

on this dizzy dusk of  

earthly endurance.  

 

Black

Lives

truly

Matter!  

 

Human 

Lives  

Matter!  

 

Silence! 

 

"I have a dream:"

So:

"Let

freedom

ring!" 

 

I walk the land unknown.
I walk this land unloved.

 

Silence!

 

When love is gone,
humanity beware! 

When freedom to 

be who we are 

created to be is 

gone, humankind

weep with me and

act for restoration! 

 

When skin colour bars, 
humankind beware! 

Humankind, we are  

same red blood. 

Black Lives Matter! 

Human LiveS Matter! 

 

Earthquakes are gathering.
Smiling storms are waiting
to stir-up our lake in the 
heart of earth. Give me 

freedom to love and 

bloom for life; for dying

earth; for dying peoples

on this enchanting earth!

 

Now, I am giong home.
I am going home.
Yet, I'll be with you
because there is a sea
of unwavering love in
my silent soul because

Humankind, we are

same red blood.  

 

This day and tomorrow;
and always, I'll still
ask, in the silence of
my aching heart:

 

What have we done?
What have we done?
What have we done

to one another?
What have

we done,
humankind!

 

Black

Lives

Matter!

 

Human

Lives

Matter!

 

What

have

we

d

o

n

?

!

 

What Have We Done?

Ugonna,
Truly a question that all should be asking. If God loved us enough to
give life and love, Happiness to us, what right do we have to spoil it
by doing the things that have distroyed humanity. And God as a loving
God gives us chance after chance and yet it continues to happen. Can
we as a human race ever be what God intended. Maybe one day this world
will be as it was meant.
Peace and Love walks with you
Judy

Hold the Night

Ugonna Wachuku

 

Hold the night. Hold my love.

Hold my dreams for mankind.

 

Hold my fears tonight. Keep

the fleeing night. Keep my

care.

 

See my mood. Hold the night,

beautiful one. Please, hold

the fleeting night.

 

Don't let this night walk

away in the dark. Hold the

night.

 

Hold my dreams for

all humankind and our dying

environment. Hold the night,

beautiful one.

 

Cape of Good Hope darling,

let it be the night of a

bountiful new dawn for you

and for me, for everyone

across the planet, for our

bleeding beautiful blue earth.

 

Hold the night, I beg of you.

Tell me you will hold the night

till dawn.

 

Please, tell me you will

hold this love of mine till

the night sings of a refreshing,

healing, new morning for humankind.

 

Please, Cape of Good Nomathemba

darling, hold my uplifting care

till the fleeing night smiles

into heaven's blessed morning.  

 

Just hold the night!

Hold this night!  

 

Please, hold the night,

Cape of Good Hope lady!

The night of the

spirit's deep.
