Via Via I do approximately know who I am
someone among all the people
who keep the city alive
and show me my soul
We feed each other, therefore eat
each other as one body
mankind, hungering to live
approximately knowing who we are
among each other and the rest
on our long way
up, down
and around
The goals I had, lost
and not missed, lost
in ubuntu
A Via Via café
Bantu = people; munu/muntu = man
Ubuntu = becoming and being human through others, being one, I am because we are
