Our common weakness
(Poem)
We all share a common weakness
Ignorance, infiltrated by our own selfish sickness
Fed by a book of thousand faces
A black hole where every word sounds like emptiness
Somehow, it’s like everyone is telling the youth
Me, myself, and I are the only truth
We hold on to a saying about, suffering never can last
But misery moments repeat themselves if we clone the past
Let’s try to close our blind eye
And feel like a fly in the sky
Why is everyone always is preoccupied?
Why do our hearts hurt while our brains are fried?
There never seems to be enough time to deliver universal love
To the victims of our wars who have lost all hope
We stress instead to stack up piles of useless goods
While bombs destroy other families’ neighborhoods
Where children have lost their parents for a selfish reason
Paying the highest price for the privileged parents’ treason
/Jesper Munk Jakobsen
