Ubuntu is an African lived philosophy and communal experience, far from our individualistic approach in the global North/West. It stands for loving kindness and compassion but also grounds knowledge in respect for holistic thinking maturity nature and wisdom...

Ubuntu

P andemonium the polymorph perverse un-reflected paradigm of our time casts

A narchy tumultuous turmoil killing sprees beheadings senseless hatred and results from                    
                                                                               
N ihilistic never-ending bombing wars hatred colonisation kills for money oil and land                     

D istinct in death demise and depravation dogma causes hunger poverty disembowelled                        

E  ntrails blood and gore splashed for the highest bidder of murdering virtue and emotion 
       

M oulding peace with weapons is like having sex for virginity so stuff some flowers in guns   
                  

O nly nuances of push and near extinct pull away from total insane annihilation’s madness                         

N ests and nurtures compassion communal sharing un-consumerist tradition                       

In kindergartens schools and homesteads sporting fields of lived experience in                              

U niversities higher learning centres TEACH  ‘Ubuntu’ Nguni Bantu human kindness                              

M ake love not war with heart and soul and refuse to be abused in pandemonium
