The Ubuntu Philosophy Poem : I am because we are

[fidelpoet]

I am because we are
The notion that runs in the blood of us Africans
Whether conscious or unconscious blood is thicker than water
Its an ideal left to us by our ancestors
An expensive inheritance
An ideal greater than water itself
Humanity towards one another, Agape!
A bond sharing that connects all humanity
Feelings of compassion and tolerance
Its the perception of oneness
Driven forward by feelings of unity
A philosophy of sweet love
Deeper than the oceans because,
I am because we are
To forgive when wronged
To believe in everyone's abilities and success
Tolerance brings love and hope because
We are because I am
To eat from the same plate
To drink beer in the same cup
To love your foes, to give your last cent to the pauper
Because I am because we are
Its and indigenous philosophy

Umuntu Ngumuntu ngabantu : roughly translated to 'A person is a person through other people' or 'I am, because we are'
I studied African philosophy at Uni: both of the Bantu languages and Ghana (philosophy driven by oral tradition, ritual and art). Incredibly interest, especially their ontological perspectives on the afterlife...
Great post: followed & upvoted :)
