    Die Freude am Leben[1]

     

    Though the current downturn shows

    evidently, the apple of discord

    reshaping the global economy

    may take its course, so far.

     

    But in the midst of all these things

    a great deal of courage is needed

    with people across cultures

    willing to help and be involved.

     

    Those living in poor countries

    get a deeper inch of its effect

    their cries for help and justice

    prime issues to be addressed.

     

    Hard to trace back its roots

    the cause of economic loss

    but with people of faith

    lies hidden strength of hope.

     

    Human reckoning to help

    those who’re on the edge

    their share of sufferings

    set the tone for reflection.

     

    The joy and consolation

    for them in this generation

    the heart of a Christian

    to be kind and charitable.

     

    Like sibling souls today

    mindful of human situations

    empathy in their own struggles

    willingness to assume their roles.

     

    It’s a landscape of otherness

    it’s the truth of the matter

    with Christ’s significance

    more weight to be ethical.

     

     

     

     

     

     


    [1] In German it means: The Joy of Living
