On sustainability, water, agriculture, climate action,
healthy food systems, renewal of earth's environment,
corporate social responsibility, renewables, energy efficiency,
responsible global trade and abiding nature conservation
for beloved humankind's survival:
Life will continue her journey
on the dream's path. She will
take along every purity from
the earth. Every root shall be
moved for life through nature.
The dream has come to the land.
You shall ever know the love
from my soul to help humankind
take sustainable action on this
threatening climate change,
globally.
From bountiful banks of the
Amazon, I shall rise for the
voyage. I shall take with me
fresh fishes for new
beginnings. Trees of the
jungle will bow in
admiration and care
for earth's soil and
blood humankind.
The dream shall kiss this
river in a subtle show of
universal love. On the face
of the Parana, the dream shall
glitter to let everyone know
the love that we share.
This spirit of the Amazon shall
take me to the breath-taking
height of precious Pico da
Bandeira. Then, let me know
what you think of the dream's
soul for earth's renewal, forever.
Cherish a whole life of oneness
across the land. Let love light
the dream's torch in the morning
of darkness and uncertainty from
this climate change on humankind's
enchanting earth home.
Let every eye see its the dream's
flame in the heart of Brasillia and
across the world. From the land's
depth, let Rio de Janeiro beat
drums for a Samba of peace and
love to let humankind conquer
this climate change, threatening.
Let time and seas of life kiss
the love of my being on the coast
of Sao Paulo. Let your soul
experience the dream's lovely joy
on the yearning lands of Salvador.
Let love and hope
dine with us in
Thecife for
humankind's
earth

Silence
Ugonna Wachuku
There's grave silence
accross the earth seen.
Hidden hearts preach in
cities for growth, for
social justice, for
dying humankind's
well-being globally,
for fertile farmlands
and humane harvest.
Inequality blooms!
Silence! You don't
count!
Church bells are silently
ringing at the distance.
Temple bells are also
ringing. And Mosque
calls mingle with these
ringing bells alive.
I can hear the women
and men singing. I hear
humankind singing:
I can hear you from
Essertines. I can hear
you from Nigeria!
I can hear you from
Mexico! I can hear
you from these United
States of America!
I am
human!
I am

I can hear you from
our woods. I can hear
you from this earth!
I am uncounted
human!
I can hear your voice
from the other village.
Yet, you are so far
away. But I am still
human unloved!
But with the clustered
brilliance of your waving
hair, you will come in
silence.
At the warmth of the
evening sun, you will
smile in silence. I too
will watch in silence.
Night shall come with
golden lamps to give
you hope and unforgotten
love with cherishment;
to give you the silence
of yearning hearts walking
the lush landscape of my
beckoning soul:
That loving mutness in
sweet sad silence seen
across our breathing
blue earth!
There's grave silence
accross the earth seen.
Hidden hearts preach in
cities for growth, for
resilience, for soothing
social justice, for fresh
farming and harvest,
for dying humankind's
well-being, globally!
Inequality is King!
Skin colour brightly
bars in hidden
hearts!
Silence!
Silence!
Silence!
Yet, I can hear your
handsome hate from
