Poem: Even as we sit at the table of hope
The world has lost so much
In just a few months
We lost friends and family
We lost colleagues
We lost our doctors and shopkeepers
We lost our innocence as a world
We lost our freedoms
We lost our security
We lost some of our hopes
We lost some of our dreams
We lost the ability to hug each other
We are drenched in loss
Even as we sit at the table of hope
Dreaming of a new day
We are afflicted by uncertainty
We are drained of all the substance of hope
We are left to ponder and wonder what tomorrow holds
We are left holding onto empty dreams
We have exhausted all our strength
Our courage is dwindling
Our fate is uncertain
Our life is in shambles
We are facing a bleak future
Full of psychological trauma, hunger and hopelessness
Unless we all gather together
And bandage our human spirit
Mend our long broken relationships
Fend for each other
Fight for each other
Feed each other
Clothe each other
Care for each other
Then we will find our strength
Together we will rise up
Together we will be victorious
Together we will walk into the future full of hope
