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

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
