Tragedy

A Poem by Essa G

Tragedy overcomes strengths

It is an obstacle that no one can face

People around for miles cannot bear it

None can escape

For it is a dark spirit entering our bright world

As it emerges, it takes our inner joy

Taking it for itself

It takes the feeling we possess

For the spirit is a creature

Inside, it has life

That life is hope

But it won’t come out

Unless it cries for help

Testing our strength

And testing our weakness

It teaches us a lesson

Tragedy has preached its waiting speech.
