Beyond the Weight of the World

Time is laden and bereft, skies overcast and grey

As hopes promise seems to fall so far away,

The world full of trouble doom and gloom

A broken system delivering unease for us to consume,

People left stranded in shadows of depression

Instead of being carried by emotions of jubilation,

Thoughts held captive by forces of attrition

Persistent provocation, executing demolition,

There is sorrow and too much fragility

Depths of sadness releasing torrents of tragedy,

Tears keep flowing as sustenance fails to deliver

Primordial floods releasing portals to shiver, 

The living ain't easy, but at least we are alive

Struggling through biting deterents, with aim to survive,

Beyond the apathy of fools, breaking on through

Undeterred, finding brighter vistas to pursue, 

So as not to let  hearts become further broken

Beyond despair hold on to positive emotion,

Clearing all obstacles from your head

Cling on to branches of respite instead,

Close those sad eyes and dream awhile

Beyond melancholy release a smile,

Though blurred horizons will call and confuse

Malignant politicians continue to abuse,

Search for logic and reason to console

We can reverse the weight with mind and soul.
