Where Is Ubuntu

Where is Ubuntu ? 

I wail
I lament
the death of Ubuntu
buried
and forgotten.
I wail
I lament 
the ignored tradition
of Ubuntu proclamation
Ubuntu that has been replaced
by cruelty
by human brutaluty.
I wail
I lament
rape
killing,
the lost lives
the death of our own
beloved.
I wail
I lament
I loudly shout
"Where is Ubuntu?"
if a Black kills another
if a Black illtreats the other
"Where is Ubuntu?"
if Africa swims in blood
if Africa is drenched in sorrow.
I wail
I lament
Where is Ubuntic spirit ?
