Ujima, Working Together
A short poem to move forward and not backward.
Watching the news, reminds all how divided this country is and was there is nothing new under the sun lots of division everywhere in homes, churches, schools, politics much had been shelved to the closet with its ugly head peeping out along came one man who drew it out division emerged with a vengeance like an uncaged lion stalking preys preying upon the innocent and the fearful from the political to the social some churches in the midst of it all church leaders bought into or paid into aka white Christians nationalism dating back to the countries founding much of the division across the country followers divided, attacks within the church families sparring against each other friendships have parted ways division at the top, will destroy the bottom making collective work the staple of each day all can be turned around, and yes it takes a village happy Ujima, collective work and responsibility everyone must and have a role to play to turn humanity toward the face of God God’s humanitarian direction until we do, we will forever be divided and never live in harmony as God intended choose peace on earth for all humankind or we will perish in constant turmoil.
