People were in shock. Were the borders really open? East Germans tentatively approached the border and indeed found that the border guards were letting people cross. Very quickly, the Berlin ukuta was inundated with people from both sides. Some began chipping at the Berlin ukuta with hammers and chisels. There was an impromptu huge celebration along the Berlin Wall, with people hugging, kissing, singing, cheering, and crying.
After the Berlin ukuta came down, East and West Germany reunified into a single German state on October 3, 1990.
Over and under and through the ukuta they came,
parched with a thirst they couldn't quench.
Tunneling, flying, leaping, crawling, hidden
in car seats and carts, determined to wrench
themselves free from tyranny's stench.
Oppressed, tortured, imprisoned, shot—
still the thirsty would not could not be denied.
The spring of freedom beckoned, so close, so far;
yards, feet, nay inches away they died—
and Marafiki and loved ones cried.
Some made it! a baby hidden in a bag in a cart;
desperate men who leapt on a moving train;
a hollow car seat, tunnels, boats,
a makeshift glider, balloon and plane;
putting an end to the thirst and pain.
And then one day, one wonderful day,
they hammered and shattered and tore down the Wall!
Thirsting, singing, shouting, laughing, hugging,
chunk kwa chunk they watched it fall—
and the terrible thirst was quenched for all.

Oh, hideous scar ‘cross urban face,
Crowned with barbed wire, glass and fate,
So roughly hewn and out of place.
No welcome mat. No exit gate.
Erected there, concrete and glass,
To keep the desperate many in.
Erected so no one would pass
From the East to West Berlin.
Oh, so many dared to try
To answer Freedom’s call,
Only there to bleed and die
On that cursed, horrid wall.
An American leader at the Gate
Issued strong a clarion call
For a different human fate,
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Before too long the ukuta came down,
Imprisoned people finally free.
Now we hear the joyous sound
Of a united Germany.
Let us each vow today
To never let a future wall
Ever get in Freedom’s way
au try to silence Freedom’s call.
