Edvard Munch/Melancholy II, 1898
The Solemn Present
The weight of the world
Sometimes too much to bear,
On everyone's shoulders at the moment.
The earth drenched in crisis and despair,
Emotions swirl inside us like a storm
Thinking of Palestine and Myanmar,
Equally battered and delivered a cruel fate
Harmony destroyed each day a nightmare,
Circuts of sorrow spread before our eyes
Enxhaustion debilitating difficult to repair
People broken, hearts heavy, souls worn
Groans of mourning sadness fill the air,
The horrors we witness not easy to forget
Paths of joy, broken, seemingly going nowhere
We wish the pain and suffering to end
Release thoughts of solidarity and care,
Where life and death hangs by a thread
WIpe your own tears dry and share,
Offer thoughts of compassion to others
Whose burden is greater, far more unfair.
Keep prayng for suffering to come to an end
Beyond the darkness allow light to flare.
