Soulful Plea
Ugonna Wachuku
Act One
Enter the World Wide
Web Cryer with a
pleading, soulful voice.
Foreword:
"In the beginning was the word,
and the word was with God,
and the word was God."
~John 1:1-2
Part I
Disarmament! Disarmament!
HIV-AIDS Healthcare for all
afflicted! Healthcare for all!
Humankind, humble yourself:
Let us, as one people, build a
world free of destructive arms
and weapons of fear, violence
and terror!
This new day:
I am the voice of a soul crying
in the World Wide Web.
Make peaceful our conflict and
war torn world. Healthcare
for all.
Create love in hearts and souls
filled with racism. Build new homes
of humanhood and oneness
in every human soul.
Stand. Be bold and uphold the
light of love. Let your love
uplift and care for our fleeing
refugees and asylum seekers.
Let our humaneness bloom for
our beautiful earth's refugees
and devastated asylum seekers!
This world is theirs too.
This new day, please, build
homes of love, humanhood
and soulful care.
Light living lamps of love
on dying landscapes and villages
of yesterday and today.
Gather the children and tell
them stories of our humaneness
and dependence on one another.
Let them see the beauty of life
and hope in earth's enchanting
embrace of love with refreshing
dews from heaven.
Let the "poor" of the earth teach
us the humility in loving,
upholding and appreciating one
another the way we are.
Let these "poor" of the earth lead
us to earth's hidden treasures and
life sustaining waterfalls where we
will deeply learn the urgent need
of preserving our tearfully dying
environment globally.
Now, so many are dying in pain and
anguish from HIV-AIDS; from the stigma
of human neglect and selfishness:
Please do not cast them away. Let
us love. Let us fight; and together
as one people, conquer this rampaging
destroyer of the humankind that we are.
Grow not weary. Let us conquer for
humankind; for our progenies because
we can. Let us cherish our Creator's
living words with hope and faith.
HIV-AIDS Healthcare for all
humankind afflicted.
Enfold every earth inhabitant and this
God given beautiful blue planet with
refreshing fountains and streams of
human rights unchained. Clothe this
human rights upliftment with striking
sky white clouds of peace and love
unbound in our humanity.
Part II
Slay this spirit of hypocrisy and
injustice on the awaiting altar of
love, peace and beautiful oneness
right across our pleading
precious planet panting.
Smell the sweet scent of earth's
dewy morning and welcoming evening
on golden green grass, shores and
landscapes of home and peace.
Plant the humane spirit of His truthful
"Sermon on the Mount" in every heart
across the world. Let each new day
bring us into this life-giving well
of Matthew 5-7!
Make us whole! Make us loving!
Gracefully make us peaceful!
Create us anew, each new day in
your unfailing love so truly
overwhelming!
This new day, come: Let us plant
our dying earth anew. This welcoming,
new morning, come, humanity, come:
Take a walk with me on this fertile
road to love and peace soulfully
clothed in skins of human rights
upliftment and awareness.
This refreshing, new morning, I
stand at your door, knocking, waiting,
waiting! Won't you, please, come with
me for this humble embrace of love,
peace and respect for the worth and
dignity of each humankind, our fellow
earthly animals, plants and diverse
environment?:
I humbly stand at the door of your
being, pleading; waiting, waiting!
Please, kindly answer yes to my
soulful plea!
Remember, I am the voice of a soul
crying out there in the World Wide
Web. Please, humankind, light living
lamps of love on dying homesteads of
yesterday and today!
Part III
This new day, come: Let us plant
our dying earth anew. This hopeful
new morning, come, humanity, come:
Take a walk with me on this fertile
road to love and peace soulfully
clothed in skins of human rights
upliftment and cherishment!
This new day, I am still the caring
voice of a soul crying out there in
the whole World Wide Web:
Disarmament! Disarmament!
HIV-AIDS Healthcare for all
humankind afflicted.
Make loving and peaceful our conflict
torn beautiful blue planet of ennobling
enchanting emerald, so richly bestowed
with our awe striking Creator's
unfailing unfathomable love!
Act two
Exit the World Wide Web
Cryer, still, with his
pleading, soulful voice
echoing to the hearing
of all humankind and our
beautiful blue planet.
This is the soaring and
refreshingly visionary
way of the eagle that is
this pleading and soulful
World Wide Web Cryer.
Listen to him, beloved
humankind and earth!
Epilogue:
"But they that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall
run and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint."
~Isaiah 40:31
"Let us not be weary in doing good:
for in due season we shall reap if
we faint not."
~Galatians 6:9
Humankind, my soulful,
loving plea persists:
Remember, I am still that
soulful voice crying in
the World Wide Web...
Soulful Plea:

Your thoughts are so well represented in this peace of writing. The
passion and sorrow of the earth is felt whole heartedly as it's
destruction becomes evident in the depletion of the ozone layer and
the fires that ravage the landscape and the savage cries of the
earthquake that destroys all that lies within it's reach. The earth
cries out to mankind to cease it's destruction of the environment and
learn to live in harmony with it as God intended for us to do. You
convey your message with much conviction and concern for mankind. I
respect this and throughly enjoyed readig your words. I only hope that
more people will respond positvely to the needs of the earth and the
people that inhabit this planet. Thanks for sharing these inspiring
words.

I loved this poem. The style in which you did it was so unique, and
it got the point across in a very elaborate way. i have never seen
someone write a poem in such a way, but it is certainly praiseworthy.
Thanks for putting such a poem online. the whole world should read
it.
